Don't matter anyway Holden is done.
Unfortunately it is true. The Chevrolet SS will be the last rebadged Holden sold in the US.
A Combination of export restrictions by GMNA, 5%import duties on new vehicles ,66 models available in a relatively small market, more than the entire US market, Australians changing tastes(SUV's and Pickups) and the High Australian Dollar. Ford has canned the Falcon for the same reason(will keep a local design and engineering facility. Holden closes in in 2017, Ford in 2016. Yes there is concerns about localized impact of the closures.No they will not be moving the Chevrolet SS production to NA.
A Combination of poor reactions to imported US/European/Asian GM and Ford vehicles has allowed Ford's and GM's market share to plummet. Holden's Commodore is the 3rd best selling Vehicle in Australia,(for the past 12yrs the best selling car) the Cruze is in the top ten.(It has been made and redesigned here) Fords Territory is the best selling mid size SUV/CUV outselling the Jeep Grand Cherokee by a considerable margin.
