Holden snubs Canberra

[Innuendo]

It was on the cards years ago it was just a matter of time
well done australia thats what you get for buying foreign cheap cars where all guilty of it

Yep, well done to all those people who purchased the imports. You all should be ashamed.

I could really kick Abbott in the sphincter right now...as im sure all the Holden employees would too. Its a dark day :(

Blaming the wrong people. It those who purchased the imports who are ultimately to blame. It's the greed and want factor.

Wonder what will happen to the V8 Supercar Series?

Same as what was going to happen anyway. 2016 was earmarked as the death of the RWD Commodore.
Holden is NOT closing, it is just no longer going to manufacturer in Australia. Holden dealers will still be full of "Holden's" they just won't be made here.
Re-badging of other GM produts. I.E: Volt, Colorado, Cruze, Malibu etc Who knows the Commodore badge could be wacked on some other GM product manufactured elsewhere. Been going on since the HB Torana (Pommy), Gemini (Jap).

Kicking Abbott will do no good, would be like kicking Obama for the Manhattan Project. This scenario has been developing for years.

100% on target Byron.

I've said it before, it will take a world war to set things straight again. How embarrassing is that? Nothing has been learned from history!
