I-Holden idizayine imoto kanokusho yakwaBuick yaseChina nomhlaba
Kungenzeka ukuthi uHolden uvala imboni yezimoto nenjini, kodwa ithimba lakhe labaklami lisebenzela eChina nakwamanye amazwe izimoto.
Abaklami be-Holden badonse ukunaka kombukiso wezimoto waseDetroit nangaphambi kokuba ikhethini livuswe ngokusemthethweni.
Imoto entsha ye-Buick concept yethulwe emcimbini wokubuka kuqala ngobusuku bangaphambi kombukiso wezimoto omkhulukazi waseNyakatho Melika ngeSonto ebusuku e-US, ngabo-11 ekuseni ngoMsombuluko EST.
Ukuthintwa kokugcina: imoto yembulwa ngowayengumphathi we-Holden u-Mark Reuss.
I-Buick Avenir - isiFulentshi esisho "ikusasa" - kwakuyiphrojekthi ehlanganyelwe phakathi kwezitudiyo zokuklama ze-Holden ePort Melbourne kanye nezikhungo zokuklama zakwaGeneral Motors eDetroit.
Nokho, uHolden wakha imoto ngesandla ngaphambi kokuba ihanjiswe ngendiza e-US ngaphambi nje kukaKhisimusi.
"I-Australia inhle kakhulu ekwenzeni izimoto ezinkulu zikanokusho," kusho uReuss.
"Imoto yakhiwe e-Australia e-Holden, ezindaweni zabo zokusebenzela, kanti ingaphakathi nangaphandle bekungumzamo wokusebenzisana phakathi kwezitudiyo (zase-Australia nezaseMelika)."
Okwamanje, nokho, i-Buick Avenir ihlekisa nje ngesitolo sezimoto. Le nkampani ayizange isho ukuthi hlobo luni lwenjini engaphansi kwayo, kodwa uMnu. Reuss ukuqinisekisile ukuthi idonsa ngamasondo angemuva, njengesedan yamanje iHolden Caprice.
"Njengamanje asinazo izinhlelo zokukhiqiza... sifuna ukwazi ukuthi abantu bacabangani," kusho uReuss.
Kodwa-ke, abangaphakathi bakwaHolden batshele iNews Corp Australia ukuthi iBuick Avenir kungenzeka yakhiwe eChina futhi ithengiswe emhlabeni jikelele.
Ingase futhi ibonakale e-Australia njengendlela engase ithathelwe indawo i-Holden Caprice uma nje ifekthri yezimoto ka-Elizabeth ivalwa ekupheleni kuka-2017.
Uma i-Avenir ingena ekukhiqizeni, kuzoba yimoto yesibili kuphela eyenziwe ngamaShayina ezothuthukiswa e-Australia; eyokuqala kube yiFord Everest SUV, eyethulwe ngasekupheleni konyaka odlule.
I-Buick Avenir ngeke isihlehlise isinqumo sika-GM sokuvala imboni ye-Holden, kodwa izogqamisa ukuguqulwa kwe-Australia ibe ihabhu lobunjiniyela nobunjiniyela kunesikhungo sokukhiqiza semboni yezimoto.
Ngokwesibonelo, iFord Australia manje isiqashe abaklami nonjiniyela abaningi kunezisebenzi zasefekthri.
Izikhulu zeGM azizange ziqagule ukuthi iBuick Avenir ingase yakhiwe kuphi, kodwa usihlalo nomongameli we-joint venture ye-GM eChina, i-SAIC, bathamele ukuvulwa.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kumaBuicks ayizigidi ezingu-1.2 adayiswe emhlabeni wonke ngonyaka odlule - irekhodi lomkhiqizo oneminyaka engu-111 - 920,000 enziwe eChina.
Ukuvulwa kweBuick Avenir eDetroit kuxazulula impicabadala eyodwa. Ngenkathi uHolden ememezela ukuvalwa kwefekthri, kwaba nokuqagela ukuthi iCommodore elandelayo ingase ibe seChina.
Kodwa-ke, manje sekuyacaca ukuthi abaklami be-Holden bebesebenzela inguqulo yesiShayina yale Buick entsha yokunethezeka.
Esikhundleni salokho, isizukulwane esilandelayo i-Holden Commodore manje izotholakala kwa-Opel eJalimane, izohamba indilinga ngokuphelele ku-original yango-1978, ngaleso sikhathi eyayisekelwe kuyi-sedan yaseJalimane.
U-Buick angase abe nesithombe esiphelelwe yisikhathi phesheya kwezilwandle, kodwa ubhekene nokuvela kabusha e-US; onyakeni wesihlanu wokukhula kowezi-2014, kwenyuke ngamaphesenti ayi-11 kunonyaka odlule. Ngaphezu kwalokho, manje isiwuphawu lwesibili ngobukhulu kwaGM ngemuva kweChevrolet.
