Bankrupt?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> Closing Down? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lost export orders? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Being sold off?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve heard all the rumours and speculation from scaremongers following the parent company\u2019s problems in the USA.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But how does it impact on Holden in Australia?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

General Motors in the US has filed for bankruptcy protection, and the Obama administration (along with its Canadian counterpart) plan to take a controlling stake in the company prior to it emerging from bankruptcy protection in about three months.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A leaner, streamlined GM will re-appear after serious surgery.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Part of this cost-cutting programme is the proposed sell off of its European brands, Vauxhall in the UK and Opel in Germany.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They have also cancelled a big export order from Holden for Pontiac cars bound for the US.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But Holden are still very much upbeat!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Their managing director, Mark Reuss, has told the press that Holden is not for sale!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It has NOT been put on the market and they are not entertaining any offers for the company- at least in the near future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, Holden are currently gearing up to produce their most important small car in their history, the Holden Cruze.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Launched this month, the Cruze will initially be imported from GM\u2019s manufacturing plant in Korea, but it is slated for local production in 2010 alongside the Commodore.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The pricing for the Cruze is extremely competitive and reflects Holden\u2019s determination to make a mark for the car in Australia, and stay here for the long term.<\/span><\/span> http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/mgnovennye-zaimy-na-kartu-bez-otkazov-kredito24.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
