Holden will weather GM storm.

Holden expects no changes to its Australian and New Zealand operations as a result of the financial woes of its American parent company, General Motors.
In a statement, Holden chairman and managing director Mark Reuss said Holden "will continue normal operations in Australia and New Zealand and does not expect changes to its business'' after GM announced it had filed for bankruptcy protection in a deal that will give American taxpayers a 60 per cent ownership stake in the automotive giant.
Holden will remain a part of the GM family, unlike its British Vauxhall and German Opel subsidiaries, Mr Reuss said.
"Operations at Holden are unchanged in Australia and New Zealand, and we expect it to remain that way,'' Mr Reuss said.
"GM has clearly stated that all of its businesses in the Asia Pacific region - and that includes Holden - continue normal operations and are not directly impacted by this process in the US.''

It would be nice to see Holden cars come to this country as Holdens. I dont why GM needs to rebadge them.
