Where are these SIDI HOLDEN engines manufactured nowadays ?
Let's not be too critical here ! Despite some of the findings, it should be looked at from a local perspective. Holden may be targeting prospective CAMRY / AURION buyers as well as Falcons with their new lineup. The marketing is probably more aimed at diffusing CAMRY sales methinks. If a "local" product can get incremental sales from an "imported" product, then we may all benefit in the long run ? Manufacturing and investment from local players is poor enough already, so we need to be more mindful of some of the repercussions of strangling HOLDENS marketing strategy. Poorer sales of the SIDI models does not necessarily mean better sales for the FALCON..........it may just mean more sales again for TOYOTA and another catastrohic blow for the local players ???? Just a thought. |
