I have said it many times and been shot at for it, that is the GM car we should have got as a ZB. Being given the ZB was a massive "Thanks for the free cash and by the way, Fk you" to Australia from GM.
Here here. It definitely should have been the next Commodore but apparently GM are too retarded to make cars with the steering wheel on the opposite side. Only small manufacturers like Holden were smart enough to do that!
I‘ve said it once and I’ll say it again GM management are full retard. If they wanted to cut costs I don’t know why they didn’t just rationalise back to using only their US models but tool all the factories up to make the US models in right hand drive as well. That way they achieve economies of scale with the US market and don’t have to make new models from scratch for overseas markets. They also have the added benefit (for them anyway) of supporting/increasing US jobs.
GM giving a big **** you to the right hand drive market almost certainly means they can never enter it again even if they wanted to as everyone in RHD markets will remember that GM gave them the middle finger. Not “rationalise”, “consolidate” or “cut costs”, just **** you we are out!
