And the 'Numpties' will continue to rebadge their Commodores as Chevrolets. . . . . .Why do they do that ?


not smart enough to bolt in a ford badge?

Gizmo, That add was conceived and shot after the announcement as a reaction to feedback that many Australians thought Holden was closing as a brand. We were contacted Monday, the film crew were in the Design studio Tuesday and the add went to air Thursday night. It was that fast.

No conspiracy what so ever.

Just saw a Holden ad. The tag line was 'think Colorado, think Holden', while showing a picture of Australia.

Sadly, combined with the voice over, I think of the USA when I hear the word Colorado. Maybe they could rename it the Maloo?


I think that's part of where Holden went wrong too. I hate the yank names:
Colorado
Malibu
(Santa) Cruze


Why oh why do that when you're trying to represent yourself as the last australian brand?

Each to their own, I thought it was a step up from hillbilly names such as Rodeo, Jackaroo, Drover, and Commodore which brings commode to mind.

Its a shame to see so many people going to be unemployed. A bit over the government who will take for ever to help the workers. So I made up a website for those interested in a new job. Its really for anyone, but you all maybe interested or not. It was started by Matt Lloyd in Perth and has turned into a great income source. I have a you tube video on the website talking about it and a blog as well

Web thesignup.weebly.com/ it is a sign up page, but good information

Just wish more people like myself brought Australian Built cars
