- it's such an iconic Australian brand (despite being foreign owned) that has value for GMH
- as Centurion said, Australians like to buy Holdens albiet in decreasing numbers
- I think here is strategic value for the Government in retaining end to end vehicle design and manufacture in Australia (that doesn't mean all 3 remaining manufactuers will stay)
