    If my mother's Epica is anything to go buy, I don't see Holden lasting this one out.. I mean really, we already have Hyundai selling good cheap Korean built cars - there's no place for Daewoo in this market. At least once the general public realise it's just had a name change..

    At the same time Holden will launch the Korean-built Cruze in the next two months and has committed to spend $450 million moving into production late next year of further models based on the same Delta platform as the Cruze is built on.
    poo... just.. poo.

    has to make business sense for them? what about the end customer u money hungry bastards
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Smart business decision here. Cull your best selling model in favour of models you can't even give away.

    Wow, that sux.

    Luckily, I didn't have my heart set on the new Astra.

    Having said that, I wonder how/if this business decision affects the street price of current model Astras.

    This has been reported before....

    The move means that no Holden-badged Astras will be imported in April or May and the decision could become permanent, depending on a company review of the situation.
    Did you guys miss the word "could" - lol

    Good move to stop ordering cars when no one is buying them.
