Has Holden got any actual *hard* official orders or just been shopping
the *chev* cop spec. car around o/s?

Not sure the US AutoUnions are going to like a imported vehicle being
used as a US Cop Car [Even though Holden is US owned]

Ford Aus is VERY busy, working on the new V8 for Falcons/FPV range, a
injected LPG system for the same, a DIEsel for the Terri, the new T6
Ute [Ranger/Bravo] project, and a new SUV based on the said T6 Ute,
and other confidential projects....

Importing a few extra Euro sourced vehicles, so they got plenty on its
plate........

UNLIKE GM WHICH WENT BROKE aka CHAPTER 11 etc and imports bottom-
feeders WORST Korean *quality* [sic] Daewoo junk.......

NEXT!

According to my BIL who works for GMH they actually made a profit last
quarter for the first time in a long time so things have turned around
for the local GM which is a good sign for the local industry.
