Re: What happened to Australia's car?

They didn’t innovate to keep up with evolving trends. When they tried to adapt, it was just rebadged Daewoos. They didn’t do anything to add value or stand out. Back in the day you could take one vehicle and it could do it all. It was your family car/wagon, taxi, police car, sports car, limo, hearse... whatever you wanted. Now people want a car that is more purpose built, which means offering more products. Holden didn’t offer what people really wanted. The burden isn’t on the consumer to blindly follow tradition. That means you need global class leading products. Take any Holden product, there was always something better from a competitor. Acadia? I would take the Pathfinder. Equinox? I would take just about anything else. 2021 Tahoe, Silverado, and C8 Corvette? Well Holden doesn’t have the sense to offer those. They would be too profitable.
