Default Re: Will the Holden brand survive?

It's a shame that Holden couldn't have anticipated what everyone else seemed to have known was inevitable. That way the well respected Commodore nameplate could have been retired with some dignity when the last VF rolled down the line.

How they ever thought Australians would buy the smoke and mirrors illusion that was the ZB Commodore just beggars belief.

I don't knock the Insignia, in fact I think it's probably a very good car on its own merits. Unfortunately though, its star was tarnished due to being thrust into the limelight as the lead actor in 'The Great Commodore Swindle of 2018'.

Marketing hype and spin can only take a company so far. Wallets literally flew back into pockets all over Australia once the car buying public caught the unmistakable whiff of cow manure emanating from Holden showrooms.
