‘For decades to come’. Well that aged like spoilt milk

This is so sad to see, I'm glad I got a Green Series II SV6 VF Commodore Sedan built this year, they truly are amazing quality and one of the best cars built to date, I strongly agree!

As an ex Holden worker breaks my heart still we haven't got manufacturers here in Australia we built some of the best cars in history here the goverments and unions killed it along with foreign maker's Puting the bogan stigma on owning a locally made car if you own a holden good luck in getting parts for it in the fuythey sent everything to south Korea that was left holden and ford should never have been lost what you gonna do if war breaks out and you got no manufacturing just an observation there

I am a HOLDEN fan through and through, but now that we don’t have any Australian built cars I hope that the company and it’s shareholders go down the gurgler for making such a poor decision to stop making the worlds best cars. I know it’s only wishing but I wish that the company would wake up to themselves, reopen the factory and start making the worlds greatest cars again. We as a country used to have something to be proud of. Politicians should hang their heads in shame for not supporting an Australian icon.

And they sold the left over chassis but they were unable to be registered due to not being certified

BRING BACK HOLDEN AND ITS MANUFACTURING TO AUSTRALIA GM !!!

[johnpro]

We still make houses and skyscrapers here ..so not all manufacturing jobs have gone overseas yet.

[brittenv]

this sux. my whole life I've wanted a v8 Holden. never to be. Nice one gm.!

[johnpro]

@1:35. I don't get it ...legal on one road in NT .

[MpRobbo]

"...set to import the best cars it can find from around the world, for decades to come."
*John Cena appears*
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT???

[lukehall]

You can tell they love Holden more then ford....

[garyrielly]

If a country like the Czech Republic with a population of a little over 10 million people can build a car called Skoda, how come Australia cannot.
Australia does not even make razor blades.

The Australian Federal Government should hang their heads in shame as they are solely the people who axed car manufacturing in Australia, and they are woefully overpaid to make matters worse.

The Federal Government are the ones who also axed “TARIFFS “ on “Imported Vehicle’s”, which in turn put the writing on the wall for all car manufacturing in Australia as our cars were more expensive than the cheap inferior imported ones.
I know that some fingers were pointed at the Union’s, but how do you compete against a car that was built by countries where labour costs are so low like China as an example.

[joshlicht]

Seems like a big mistake to me letting this type manufacturing go. It seems like Holden's marketing wasn't quite right - they needed to promote the fact the cars were made by Australians and the quality was as good if not better than the Japanese and Euro cars - the last two cars I've driven have been a LPG BF Falcon Wagon and LPG VF Commodore Wagon, both the best cars I've driven. Never miss your water until your dry.

[danielprice]

Anyone see the guy with the Toyota hat 😂

[sixspeed]

Anyone else watching this as the VF2 commodore is Australia’s most stolen car

[perpetualgrin]

Nothing Aussie about those V8 engines.

[johnpro]

3:30 will keep importing for decades to come...got that wrong ..pulling out of Oz permanently.

[maxrockatanksyOG]

Thanks to Unions, GMH, Ford Oz & Toyota Oz not listening to local buyers, thus leaving us with zero car building abilities

[jorgepeters]

I will never buy an imported Holden.I still own two holdens and I'll drive them till parts are no longer available.

[Paul-ydi]

Whith the car Australia we should have gone it alone with no help from America not listening to the Old farts a Old idea's listened to
