Holden wants profitable vehicles not reliable ones. I beg to differ with your assessment, but the car is ugly, slow and badly built. It won't last long at all. I utterly HATE it.
Profits and current covnersion rates. The European stuff is simply too expensive for Holden to sell at what they deem to be a profit. The Captiva MaXX Daewoo designed and built, with tweaks by Opel.
