Seems like the Y generation prefer Chevy badges on their Holdens anyway. 
At least Ford for now, still makes vehicles and is a global brand. |
I have been wondering the same thing, will they just badge them all Chevrolet (or some other GM brand) and kill off the Holden name all together...
Ford is Ford whether its here in AU, America, UK, etc whereas Holden is ONLY here in AU.
Would be a shame to see the name die off, considering they have been around since mid 1800's (started as a Saddlery) but got into Cars (body Manufacturing) from the 1915 (i believe).. Hell they even used to do Ford Bodies for a while...
There is a hell of a lot of history behind the name, I hope it doesn't die off but in the end GM will do whatever it needs to do I suppose...
