In fact, Go Auto said that the reason the exports to the Middle East were ceased, the primary driver was the poor quality of the Commodore and the Aussie dollars ascendacy was the final nail.

“We had the Middle East business, anchored in Melbourne, and we lost that; we lost it because of poor quality,” said GM Holden’s Michael Filazzola.
“It was also in the way we way we actually executed the program. That gave us a bit of a realisation that the rest of the world has passed us by.”
