Holden has shafted Australian taxpayers, broken promises ( where are all the new models by 2020 ), and reduced choice. Loyal buyers remember that, and will not forgive GM.
Current Holden buyers are just cross shopping with other brands for the best $$$ deal.
Yep, Holden are screwed, but they're still only 100odd sales behind someone else we wont mention..

Cue the discounting comments.
