Why is Holden so far behind the eight-ball?

In three or four years the only thing people will want to drive is PHEVS, BEVs or electric bicycles. I hope GM will be producing a right-hand drive Volt.

If the world waits for GM, we will grow old ...

Other companies show the way forward while GM drags it's feet. Worse, even their few successful cars are not made available worldwide, while their most insane inefficient things are promoted.

Australia's new prime minister Kevin Rudd announces Toyota intends to build Camry hybrid in Aus and Thailand.
Visiting Toyota in Japan today 10th June.
This is what we want to hear not the fobbing excuses that GMH announces.
The full article in the Age reveals the truth of GM- Holden's attitude to its customer and the planet.
The article describes in their own words.

1: That smaller(? capacity or physical?) V6 versions for new Torana.
2: direct injection and turbocharging for OS markets Saab and Alfa. I'm sure export is not their largest so why not look after your client base.
3: Instead of working in the interest of thier local market, they will "roll out technology on a time line to suit our markets"
4: this is industry code for the practice of withholding technology from the market until either the competition or legislation demands it. That is NOT best practice especially in this day and age.
In Australia this is called BLUDGING or sitting on your hands.
5: Not only shows the poor corporate philosophy, which is properly criticised often in GCC.
6: But also disproves the view so often expressed in these pages that anti-American communists , greenies and socialist do gooders just wishing to hurt American interests are responsible for every one of societies ills. Rather than making intelligent, informed and concern driven analysis which seems to be often disregarded by those who hold the reins.
7: Point is they are destroying their own business and credibility and putting up a great effort to justify same.
