By”ceremoniously driven”, I hope you mean “smokily burnout” off the line.

Did GM ever give a reason for shutting down Holden? You guys are import only now? Seems kind of silly that all the car plants have shut down.

I presume that this car will go straight into a museum?
Sad - RIP Holden.

That is pretty sad. Holden was the last of the old school cars. Unfortunate to see them go. This also means the Chevy SS will never exist again. :(

RIP Holden.
What will become of your factories? Will they sit empty as a blight upon the earth for they no longer have purpose?

I think there are a few wild plans being thrown around, but really doubt any sort of manufacturing would start. As an example, there are hundreds of large hardware stores from a failed company called “masters” that have been sitting empty for around a year now. so much waste when real estate here is through the roof

Might make a fantastic place for Mr. Musk “Our lord and saviour” to build a new gigafactory. Would be nice to not lose those largely reliable employees that you had at the Holden plant right?
Didn’t Ford also shut down manufacturing there a few years ago?
