Disagree. The loyal core of Holden fans have voted, they are not buying the Red Lion anymore, because the current offerings are not Holdens, regardless of the marketing spin.
Prior to about 2005, Holden used to have input into the design and specs of imports. ( The XC Barina had a major redesign to accommodate aircon and auto .) And, supposedly the V6 ZB was due to Holden's work.
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.
