And some staff, seems GM USA are content to abolish all GMH, and rebrand our little place as GM USA subsidiary
So long Australian Talent |

Very complicated. The Opel links with Holden cover everything from late 60s until the VE, even the Commodore name!

I heard a story where there was a meeting with Holden dealer principals late last year to decide whether to continue the Holden name or have a combined Opel/Holden banner dependent on the model. Story goes it was a very divided room when it came to a vote.

So Peugeot Citroen has purchased GM Europe. Confirmed on Monday. British Government in a tailspin knowing that as soon as Brexit happens UK (Vauxhall) operations will Close down - 4000 jobs gone. The Insignia / Commodore is built by GM Europe in Germany. Buy now while stocks last!....

Strewth, that didn't take long-black people mover out the front and gum chewing crewcuts wearing earbuds and sunnies(and it is bloody well into evening here).
They are so oversensitive they remind me of some of the posters on this forum. |

Sky isn't falling, Holden will still be getting currently planned cars from Europe, further into the future not yet locked down: Holding on

It will still be a rebadged Epsilon II available as the Malibu now. The new Opel Insignia/Buick Regal are due out later this year and I expect the Commodore to be a rebadged version of this, probably built at the Chinese Buick plant.
