    Plus it's a very, very tough market. 40 odd brands (I think) for a market of 23m people.
    Try 66 brands........

    @poita ......
    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....

    At that price I'd buy one even if it is serviced at Holden.

    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.
    I'm just talking to Berwick Motor Group (KIA/Suzuki/Opel) who have only one service centre. My thinking is, if they've got the 'experience' and training already, and the tooling, then they may keep servicing the cars anyway.
    There are only 10 types of people in the world:
    those who understand binary;
    and those who don't.

    Seriously, what did they expect in a year? I can't imagine there would be much financial success in Australia if businesses didn't have the tenacity to stick out the slow period where a brand is still being recognised...

    ah well...
