Agreed.
Plus it's a very, very tough market. 40 odd brands (I think) for a market of 23m people.

Agreed.
Suffice to say, as an owner of a new Opel. I'm pretty pissed. And I'm going to look into my options here depending on how they decide they'll continue local operations here through partnering service centres etc.
Surely they'd push any warranty / service work through Holden?
EDS-IPF Re-Map, 19" OPC Snowflakes, OPC Rear Spoiler, OPC Rear Diffuser, Remus Exhaust, Irmscher Front Spoiler, Irmscher Front Grille, Irmscher Eyebrows Signum Fog Surrounds and Lower Grille, K&N Apollo Intake, Koni Yellow Adjustable Dampers, Eibach Pro-Kit, DBA 5000 Gold Rotors, M-Tech Shifter
Heres a bit of confusion thrown in.....

This article says 1530, and it also says that they are in talks with Holden to keep bringing the OPC over.
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....
Geez that didn't last long. Only saw 1st OPC ad on tv few days ago.
Sounds like they didn't promote/ advertise enough

Same here. I am not sure how our local dealers would bring this news to us owners. They will likely push us to holden dealers for service, but are we going to get the same service promises? We should share what we information we get from our dealers...
Holden should give the Cruze, Malibu and Barina the chop and use the Opel models instead. Much better product IMO.
Madness.
Could not believe they even came here.
I am guessing they saw the success of VW?
Yet Skodas performance in Australia was barely adequate I reckon.
Opel have a habit of going into and pulling out of markets in what I reckon are short periods of time, the UK, NZ, and the USA being a few
