“I would have thought it would have been easier for Holden to import the European Volt, since it will be made with Right Hand Drive in mind”

I think you’ll find the majority of Europe is left hand drive too – it’s only really Britain that’s RHD, so it doesn’t really make much difference.

Nightsifter – so its not worth even trying to turn it into a viable business then? Thats the point, Power was HOPING that it would go under, i cannot comprehend how someone could possibly WANT so many people to loose their jobs, surely you would rather WANT GM to be turned around

Truth is people, if GM goes then ‘NO’ not everything will go with it you blind freaks.

The world is made up of many, many companies and in the auto-industry alone – Toyota / Lexus, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Honda, Mazda, Ford, VW / Audi, BMW, M’Benz and even Hyundai / Kia these days are all good companies and will simply fill in the void left by GM … easy as that !!!

Large American airlines have been collapsing for years but do the rest of them fold … NO !!

When Ansett collapsed, initially 16 000 people were out of work but eventually the bulk of those were re-employed by Qantas and Virgin.

Be absolutely no different if or when GM goes belly up… PERIOD

Don’t be so short sighted. If you keep patching and pumping up an inviable, bloated bubble that GM appear to be now. It will just burst even harder at the end.

Unless GM is proven to be viable in the long term, there is no point in hoping it stay alive so people don’t lose their job for now.

Power if GM goes out of business then watch them all fall like dominoes. This industry is so intertwined that if a large car company such as GM go under it would take alot of players with them and jokers like you!

Ford Accident:
The volt has a petrol engine that charges the battery when it gets low if needed.

Wish GM would speed up their launch dates on there vehicle, they are ever so slow.

I have to say I have lost faith in my Holden’s (Ive had a few now, always seem to have issues) but I really do like the look of this.

Pity we have to wait till 2012 though.
