GM have stuffed up in alt of ways but at least they are still investing in holden and making better cars, they spent 1.2 billion developing the Zeta platform and the commodore variants and they are now going to invest a further 600 million in re- engineering the cruise into a hatch using better drive trains and suspension.
GM realizes they have some great talent in holden and there biggest downfall was having too many brands that just didn't perform enough as there were to many mediocre cars in the mix.
At least they are trying to further develop cars and move to the future.
What are the head honchos at ford doing ??
They have a great product in the falcon, a world class motor in the I6 and there trying to push there duratec V6 which will produce less power and most likely use more fuel ??
The falcon could be so much better that it is now and would enable it to be exported aswell, if they were invested in enough.
Ford Australia have more issues than there marketing, they need backing by there parent company, they need to be given the opportunity to show what they can do when there given the money to develop the cars properly.
