How topical!
‘
As a Holden dealer for the best part of half a century, Neil Beer was betting on a bright future with General Motors.
’
Anyone who spent proper money on a Holden dealership in the last few years was standing too close to see the wood for the trees. Someone built a brand new one here in Adelaide. If you couldn’t see that was a bad business move then that’s too bad. The signs had been there for a ver y long time. No matter what GM did.

True...though to be fair...I think there was (perhaps) an expectation that, over time, the Holden brand was to be relegated to history and replaced with Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac.
The dealer group in Mildura built a new showroom too. Though it was a glorified shed. Still, they had plans to build something flash...maybe they did?

Yeah, I could understand not thinking GM was going to walk away from Australia entirely - it's almost a 1.1 million unit p/a market that GM had been in for 100 years. Mary Barra has thrown all conventional reckoning out the window with her willingness to cut and run from unprofitable markets, regardless of their future strategic value or any past history of success.

“They are being led along by a legal firm that seems hell-bent on wanting to take this through the courts and make this a protracted dispute to only serve the benefit of a lawyers’ picnic,” argued Mr Aquilina.
My favorite kind of picnic! But seriously, everyone wants to always blame the lawyers. A big company knows what it wants and tells the legal team to craft a strategy on how to try to get to that place. The lawyers are not running around doing whatever they want. A small company or an individual - particularly an unsophisticated personal injury plaintiff -- can be manipulated by outside law firms. But GM knows exactly what is going on here.
