Add another one to the long list of brands killed by GM. Probably explains the drying up of most parts. Will only get worse from now on :cry:

Holden was already dead when they shut down manufacturing several years ago. GM decided it wasn't worth slapping a Holden badge over a bow-tie. Maybe they go back to manufacturing Fords.

Ferd still have a presence in Oz despite not manufacturing any vehicles there anymore, selling imported vehicles. GM has been selling offshore junk in NA for a while now, including soon the 2021 Daewoo made TrailBlazer.

It's just sad to see all these brands being shelved, likely forever.

Here's another link with more information on the shuttering. Sad days for GM. The corporate lobotimization & emasculation of GM continues at a steady pace.
