Let there be no confusion here. General Motors has unashamedly shafted Australia. They took over the Australian car manufacturing company Holden some years ago and when sales started dropping under their ownership they decide to pull the pin entirely on Australian car manufacturing, leaving Australia with no car manufacturing capability from 2017/18. This came despite the fact that Holden was in fact consistently less unprofitable then General Motors North America. Of course GM would not consider shutting down operations in the USA, but shutting the Australian car industry was of course a matter of little concern for them. To add insult to injury they have now decided to deprive Australians of the Camaro due to the fact it will not be manufactured in RHD and LHD vehicles cannot be legally driven on Australian roads unless the vehicle is 15 to 25 years old. Therefore the much loved rear wheel drive V8 market may consist solely of Ford Mustangs from 2017. General Motors have absolutely destroyed the Australian car manufacturing industry and I call upon all Australians to boycott their products, including Holden products.
