E hele ana ʻo Holden ma hea?

Ua paʻakikī ʻo Holden hou Commodore e ʻike i kahi anaina ma Australia, akā pono anei e hoʻololi ʻia e kahi Cadillac?

I ka manawa he ikaika nui i ka ʻāina automotive o Australia, ua hāʻule ʻo Holden mai ka makemake me nā mea kūʻai aku he nui ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka hana kaʻa kūloko ma 2017.

I nā mahina ʻehiku mua o ka makahiki, helu ʻo Holden i 27,783 mau kūʻai hou, ma lalo o 24.0% mai ka manawa like i ka makahiki i hala.

ʻO ke kumu maopopo loa o ka hāʻule nui ʻana o Holden i ke kūʻai ʻana, ʻo ia ke pani ʻana i kāna Commodore mai kahi kaʻa nui hope o Australia me kahi Opel Insignia i lawe ʻia mai.

I kāna mahina mua o ke kūʻai ʻana ma Pepeluali 2018, ua kiʻi ka Commodore hou i 737 mau inoa inoa hou, ma lalo o ka hapalua o nā kūʻai inoa inoa ma ka mahina hoʻokahi (1566) i ka makahiki i hala.

Hoʻokahi makahiki a me ka hapa ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana, ʻaʻole i hoʻomaka ke kūʻai aku ʻo Commodore, me 3711 kūʻai ma kahi o 530 mau ʻāpana i ka mahina a hiki i ka hopena o Iulai.

Eia nō naʻe, mai ia manawa, ua hoʻopau ʻo Holden i nā hiʻohiʻona kūʻai haʻahaʻa e like me ka Barina, Spark a me Astra station wagon, a ua hoʻopau ʻia ka sedan kaulana ʻo Astra ma mua o kēia makahiki, e hoʻopilikia pū ana i ka māhele mākeke o ka brand.

No laila, ʻo ke kumu kūʻai maikaʻi loa a Holden i kēia manawa ʻo Colorado pickup, me nā kūʻai 4x2 a me 4x4 i hui ʻia i kēia makahiki o 11,013 mau ʻāpana, ma luna o ka hapakolu o ka huina a hōʻike i nā hopena paʻa i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me 11,065 o ka makahiki i hala. kuai no ka manawa like.

ʻO Colorado ke kumu kūʻai nui loa i ka laina Holden.

ʻOiai ke kiʻekiʻe nei i nā palapala kūʻai kūʻai ʻo Holden, ke ʻimi nei ʻo Colorado i nā alakaʻi o ka māhele e like me Toyota HiLux (29,491), Ford Ranger (24,554) a me Mitsubishi Triton (14,281) i nā kūʻai makahiki a hiki i kēia lā.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole i hiki i ka Equinox crossover ke hopu i ka ʻāpana SUV midsize booming, ʻoiai he 16.2% ka piʻi ʻana o ke kūʻai aku i kēia makahiki.

No ke koena o ka laina, ua loaʻa ka Astra subcompact, Trax crossover, Acadia SUV nui a me Trailblazer i 3252, 2954, 1694 a me 1522 kūʻai.

I ka wā e hiki mai ana, e nalowale ana ʻo Holden i nā hiʻohiʻona i hana ʻia e Opel e like me Commodore a me Astra i kēia manawa, a e hoʻoili ʻo General Motors (GM) i ka brand German, me Vauxhall, i ka hui PSA Farani.

ʻO kēia ka manaʻo e huli ʻo Holden i kāna mau hoahānau ʻAmelika - Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick a me GMC - e hoʻonui i kāna lineup.

ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻomaka mua ke komo ʻana o nā hiʻohiʻona i ka US: Equinox ʻo Chevrolet, a ʻo Acadia ʻo GMC.

ʻO ka mea nui, ʻo ia nā hiʻohiʻona ʻelua, a me ka Commodore, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia no nā alanui Australia ma mua o ka paʻi ʻana i nā lumi hōʻike kūloko e hōʻoia i ka holo maikaʻi a me ka hōʻoluʻolu.

ʻOiai ʻo Hyundai a me Kia - a ma kekahi ʻano ʻo Mazda - ke hana nei i nā hoʻonohonoho hoʻomaha no nā alanui o Australia, hiki i kēia hana maʻamau ke lilo i pōmaikaʻi nui no Holden no ka mea e manaʻo ana e piʻi i nā palapala kūʻai.

Hiki iā Holden ke luʻu hou i loko o ka waihona Chevrolet e kau i kona mau lima ma luna o ka Blazer, hiki ke lilo i mea ʻokoʻa i ka SUV nui o Acadia.

Hiki i ka Blazer ke hui pū me nā lumi hōʻikeʻike Acadia a me Equinox ma Holden.

Na ka Blazer e lawe mai i kahi pae o ke ʻano cohesion i ka laina o Holden, me kahi nani nani i ʻoi aku i ka laina me ka Equinox ma mua o ka Acadia nui.

ʻO ka hoʻolauna lōʻihi ʻia o ka brand Cadillac hiki ke hāʻawi iā Holden i kahi koho maikaʻi loa i nā kaʻa e like me ka Lexus a me Infiniti.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, aia ka CT5 ma Australia a ke alakaʻi nei ʻo Holden i ka powertrain a me nā hoʻāʻo emissions no ke kumu hoʻohālike e hiki mai ana.

Hiki i ka CT5 ke hoʻopiha i ka hakahaka i waiho ʻia e Commodore, e ʻae iā Holden e hoʻokuʻu hope i ka papa inoa ma hope o ka hoʻomaka mua ʻana ma 1978.

Me ka hoʻolālā kaʻa kaʻa hope, nā ʻāpana sedan nui a me nā koho hana i hāʻawi ʻia, ʻo ka Cadillac CT5 hiki ke lilo i hope uhane a ka poʻe haipule o Holden i moeʻuhane ai.

Ua ʻike ʻia kahi Cadillac CT5 e kaʻa ana a puni ʻo Melbourne i kahi camouflage nui.

Hiki iā ia ke wehe i ka puka i nā huahana Cadillac hou aʻe ma Australia, ʻoiai ua mākaukau ka brand e hoʻomaka i lalo ma mua o ka pilikia kālā o ka honua i hoʻopau i nā hoʻolālā a GM 10 mau makahiki i hala.

No nā hiʻohiʻona hana kiʻekiʻe, ua hōʻoia ʻo Holden e hāʻawi ʻia ka Chevrolet Corvette hou i ka hale hana lima ʻākau i ka hopena o ka makahiki aʻe a i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2021.

E noho ka Corvette ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka Camaro, i lawe ʻia mai a hoʻohuli ʻia ka lima ʻākau e Holden Special Vehicles (HSV), me ka waiho ʻana i nā hōʻailona Holden.

ʻOiai e ʻike ka poʻe he nui kēia e wehe i ka hiki ke hoʻokuʻu i ka inoa Holden no Chevrolet, ua koho paha ʻo Holden e mālama i nā mana ʻelua i kā lākou ʻano ʻAmelika ma muli o ka ikaika kūʻai kūʻai a me ka hoʻoilina o ka Corvette a me Camaro.

ʻO ka mea nui, ke hoʻololi nei ʻo HSV i kahi kaʻa kākika piha Silverado no ka ʻai kūloko.

ʻO ka mea hope loa, hiki i ka Bolt's all-electric crossover ke hāʻawi i ka hōʻailona i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i nā mana mana ʻē aʻe i ka neʻe ʻana o ka ʻoihana i nā kaʻa manuahi ʻole.

Hoʻohana pū ʻo GM i kahi keʻena hoʻolālā ma ke keʻena o Holden ma Melbourne, ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea liʻiliʻi o ka honua e hiki ke lawe i kahi manaʻo mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana a i ke ʻano kino, ʻoiai ʻo ka Lang Lang e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana a me ka ʻāpana hoʻomohala holomua kaʻa hou e mālama i nā limahana kūloko. luhi.

ʻO nā mea a pau o Holden e hiki mai ana, aia nō nā wahi ʻālohilohi ma ka lewa no kahi hōʻailona mahalo ʻia e pili ana i ka hāʻule ʻana o nā hōʻailona 10 kiʻekiʻe no ka manawa mua.
