HSV are looking at importing a few new Opels including the Corsa and Insignia – which could still happen despite the fact that Opel is most likely going to be sold to Fiat

Because as I have said previously GM still own the rights etc to Opels designs etc and could shift production of the Corsa etc to another plant before the sale goes through/ is finalised and sell them as Vauxhalls or Holdens etc

Its like if you wotk in an office for example… and you either leave or are sacked by your employer
Your employer holds the rights to use the spreadsheets or computer programs you created etc as you did them using property which belongs to your employer,
Not only that but its deemed that if your employer hadn’t directed you to create the spreadheet or computer program that you would never have done it – that is it wouldn’t look the way it does or do what it does etc.

What an abomination the Kalos Barina is, when you think we could have had the Corsa! Holden have gone so far downmarket I wonder if they'll ever be able to recover any sort of brand image. All those horrid Daewoos, it's hard to pick which one is the worst - Barina, Viva or Epica... Ugrhhh. What GM should have done if they wanted to sell the Daewoos is badge them as Chevrolet in Australia like they do in UK, alongside the Vauxhaull brand. They could have had a Chevrolet Aveo (Kalos) alongside a proper Holden Barina (Corsa) a few grand dearer. But it's too late now, the damage is done.

Anyway I like them both, but if GM can create a great car from korea then i would prefer a affordabel car that is safe and stylish then a safe and stylish over priced car. And when you tell your friends tell your barina is European they will not give a shit...because its not a BMW. And most of your friends wont know much about cars so they will assume your barina is an aussie. Ethier for me but in the long run a affordabel barina as good as a expensive one, would sell far better. Theres no point just having a european car for the sake of it. And Gm is producing the next chevy avep/opel corsa/holden barina/daewoo gentra/pontiac g3 all as the same car. Except the european corsa will just have a different extiorer and holden will be getting the euro exterior. But it will still be an south korean car. mmm…the anti spam is daewoo and where talking about a daewoo here.

When I heard the news a couple of years ago re the re-badged Kalos i was so annoyed as i was waiting for the Corsa. I then went out and bought a Fiesta and could not be happier. The Fiesta is such a great little car. Holden have lost my business unfortunately and i was very loyal over the years. If they bring it back I will buy one. It's a no-brainer decision Holden.
