Well, well well...I've been talking 'bout this for a while now and they finally made the decision to kill off the Holden brand in Australia.
Without the commodore, they have nothing. Honestly, the brand has been dead for a while now. they NO longer produce cars in Australia and everyone knows their vehicles are just re-badged Daewoo's and Opel's. What a shame. They gave their fans FALSE promises (long before the death of the VF Commodore, they told their fans they would have a replacement for the Australian Commodore, but they gave us NOTHING) and the factory Holden team was being rather optimistic about the situation (Mind you, they're a bunch of f*cking idiots).
I could go on a 30 minute rant on why I think GT3 is better than V8 Supercars, but that is a story for another day. Honestly, I'm glad Holden brand is dead. That gives GM the opportunity to bring the Chevrolet brand here in Australia and build the Camaro and Corvette in right hand drive. That's IF they wanna get involved with Aussie V8's. The sport is pretty much dead at this point.
I remember when they tried to market the ZB commodore, trying to convince people to buy it, when everyone knew it was shit. I know what the Holden fans want ('cuz I USED to be a Holden fan. Heck, I was a DIE-HARD Holden fan before my dad bought the FGX Falcon back in 2015): a rear wheel drive, V8. If you cant provide that, we dont want it.
...and sales figures reflect that. From 2018 - 2019, they BARELY sold 8000 + cars in that time. When they had the Australian commodore, they sold 25,000 + a year (roughly speaking). Yeah, that's pretty disappointing and it speaks for itself.
That's all I have to say. #FordMustangFTW!!!
"As much as Holden fans will be sad about this, Holden is not making money and there’s clearly not much chance of a recovery."
Yep, that's Holden in a nut-shell
