FYI - the future of astra and barina in Australia

[extralarge]

Following the collapse od Daewoo, here is an unfavorable twist...

'...future Daewoos may be sold in Australia wearing Holden badges. Holden recently transferred two senior Australian designers to Daewoo's head office in Korea and is looking to source its small cars from Asia rather than Europe, because of unfavourable exchange rates.

Holden's small cars are sourced from General Motors' German subsidiary, Opel, and their sales have suffered over the past two years because of exchange rate-driven price rises.'

opinions?

They would be foolish if they did replace opel products with rubbish daewoo's.Esspecially when the astra is and has been very popular in australian market,even ford has had to source there small car market from europe to compete with holden so why go to korea???
