Holden didn’t go defunct. GM let it wither. Marketed correctly, the commodore chassis could have exploded in NA and the Middle East. With a compelling lower displacement engine even Europe too. But GM chose to push cheaper platforms instead. The Pontiac G8 (VE) was cancelled together with Pontiac like a year into production, and the Chevy SS (VF) saw no marketing coverage and dealers weren’t interested in selling them.
