Is this the end of the 105 year old Holden?? What about the Chevrolet SS?? If it's the end of Holden, sad news.

It was only a matter of time. I read the SS only had a 3 year run so this falls in line with the announcement. Maybe they will move to china like everyone else.

Maybe GM should move production of the SS along side the Camaro once Camaro moves assembly to Michigan or on the Corvette line like the XLR did.
Or just move Holden to the U.S.
All in all, Aussies do make great cars.
Hope GM doesn't decided to rid of Opel or Vauxhall.
