Unhappy GM plans to dump Holden :(

Yep! that's it!

But now the Aussie government is looking at a bail out of sorts. I hear their govt officials are in the US at present discussing this with GM. Their govt has already pumped 35 odd million bucks to keep Holden going over the last couple of years.

How the hell can we have the Aussie V8's with only Ford? Imagine the race results "Ford beats Ford" LOL Up till now all other makes have been excluded from this series.

The law of unintended consequences from best of intentions comes to roost again.
It worked in the states, why not in Aus.. long as it'll get the unions to vote Labour.

Gillard lies her *** off to get Labour elected, then 'neener neener.. CARBON TAX'!

You who vote for liberal/socialists, you're gonna whine about this? The people have spoken, and they want something for nothing.
Well, now you'll get nothing for something.
Gillard will probably give GM $125,000 per car to build Volts.
