Default Goodbye Holden Commodore?

Spotted this article going through the news this morning.

Says the article was posted early this morning.

The iconic Holden Commodore will be replaced within five or six years, as parent company General Motors seeks to revamp the Holden brand in an effort to protect its Australian manufacturing base, according to The Australian Financial Review.
Tim Lee, the Shanghai-based president of GM's international operations, told the newspaper the Commodore would be succeeded by a "global" car with a wider appeal within Australia and abroad.
“It’s still an outstanding motor vehicle and one that we intend to produce for a long time,” Mr Lee said.
“But if you look at the motorway here in Melbourne, you see a lot of small cars. You see a lot of more fuel-efficient vehicles on the roads than Commodore.”


Mr Lee said the decision wouldn't affect the roll-out of the new-generation Commodore VE, which will be released next year.
