Their cars aren't in the US, and it's not like they have anything super special, so, meh. Sucks for the Australians though. :/

Yeah.  They did have some pretty cool cars though.  I wish the Holden Ute had been over here.  Being GM, they did have similar cars to here too.

Holden Monaro/Pontiac GTO
Holden Commodore/Pontiac G8 (Chevrolet SS)
Holden Statesman/Chevrolet Caprice (PPV only)

Holden and Ford?
Welp, no more cars for us, guess we'll have to revert back to carriages.

i don't know anyone who is surprised by this

rumors have been going around for years that they'd be going. sucks for the production workers but surely you'd have to expect that when you work in the manufacturing industry in australia of all places (it's never been a strong sector)

The world is better off with less utes anyway.

The utes will always be here.
Always.
