SMH article: Holden's dream of building cars in the US
Not sure about it being Holden's dream but according to GMH chairman Denny Mooney they are looking at moving production of the Statesman, Monaro and Ute to the US. The idea is to reduce the number of models produced at the Holden factory, which is currently 14 (compared to Ford's 6). I can see the logic in producing the Statesman and Monaro o/s as most of the production would be LHD, but I'm not so sure about the ute. They talk about selling it in the US as an El Camino, but surely if they thought that was worth trying they could have done it with the current model? |
