I-GMSV Ingaphumelela Kanjani Lapho Ibanjiwe Yehlulekile
I-Chevrolet Corvette izoba yimodeli ehamba phambili emzamweni we-GMSV wokuwina izinhliziyo nezikhwama zemali zabantu base-Australia.
Ukushona kuka-Holden bekuwusuku oludabukisayo kubathandi bezimoto base-Australia. Kodwa nangalolo suku olumnyama, iGeneral Motors yasinika inhlansi yethemba.
Phakathi kwezindaba ezimbi zokuvalwa kuka-Holden, ukuzibophezela kwe-auto giant yaseMelika e-Australia kwashabalala, nakuba kwaba nezifiso ezincane njengomsebenzi we-niche.
I-General Motors Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) ihlanganisa ngempumelelo lokho okusele kwe-Holden noshintsho oluyimpumelelo lwe-HSV ekubeni umthengi ongenisa ngaphandle/umenzi wezimoto kabusha e-US (okuhlanganisa i-Chevrolet Camaro ne-Silverado 2500).
Pho kungani iGeneral Motors eDetroit icabanga ukuthi i-GMSV ingaphumelela lapho uHolden ehlulekile? Sinezimpendulo ezimbalwa okungenzeka.
Isiqalo esisha
Enye yezinselelo ezinkulu zika-Holden eminyakeni yamuva nje ukugcina ifa lakhe. Iqiniso elibuhlungu liwukuthi umkhiqizo awukwazanga ukuhambisana nezidingo zemakethe futhi ulahlekelwe isikhundla sawo esihamba phambili emakethe. Ibhekane nokuncintisana okunzima kwaToyota, Mazda, Hyundai neMitsubishi kanti ithwale kanzima.
Kodwa inkinga yayiwukuthi uHolden wayezisungule njengomkhiqizo omkhulu ezweni. Kwakudingekile ukucabangela ukusebenza kokukhiqiza kanye nenethiwekhi enkulu yabathengisi ezweni lonke. Kalula nje, wazama ukwenza okuningi kakhulu.
I-GMSV ayidingi ukukhathazeka ngalokhu. Ngenkathi i-Walkinshaw Automotive Group (WAG) izobuyisela i-Chevrolet Silverado 1500 kanye ne-2500 eMelbourne, lokhu akusondeli nesilinganiso sokusebenza esidingekayo ukuze kwakhiwe i-Commodore kusukela ekuqaleni.
Ukuvalwa kwe-Holden kuphinde kwavumela (ngokungangabazeki) ukwehliswa kwenethiwekhi yomthengisi ukuze kusele amagumbi ombukiso abalulekile kuphela, okwenza impilo ye-GMSV ibe lula ukugcina wonke umuntu ejabule.
Elinye iphuzu elibalulekile lokushintsha usuka ku-Holden uye kwibheji yakwaChevrolet (okungenani okwamanje) ukuthi ayithwali mthwalo. Nakuba u-Holden ayethandwa (futhi ehlala ethembekile), uphawu lweBhubesi lwaba yisibopho sezomthetho ngezindlela eziningi njengoba okwakulindelwe kwakungaphezu kwalokho imakethe eyayivumela inkampani ukuba izuze.
Akekho u-Commodore, akunankinga
Akukho ndawo lapho ifa nesisindo se-Holden kwezinye izinhlobo zibonakale khona ngaphezu kwe-ZB Commodore yakamuva. Bekuyimodeli yokuqala engenisiwe ngokugcwele ukufaka i-nameplate edumile, ngakho-ke okulindelekile bekuphezulu ngokungafanele.
Ayisoze yahamba kahle njengeCommodore eklanywe futhi yakhiwe endaweni, futhi ibingeke idayise ngoba abathengi bebevele bengawafuni ama-sedan nama-station wagon ngendlela efanayo. I-ZB Commodore bekuyimoto yomndeni ekahle, kodwa isidingo sokugqoka ibheji eliyisakhiwo sodumo silimaza ukusebenza kwayo.
Le yinkinga i-GMSV okufanele ingakhathazeki ngayo. Ibhrendi iqala ngamamodeli akwaChevrolet kodwa ingase inikeze iCadillac ne-GMC uma ibonakala ivumelana nemakethe. Phela kunesizathu sokuthi bangayibizanga ngeChevrolet Specialty Vehicles.
Eqinisweni, i-GMSV izobhekana nenkinga ehlukile ye-Commodore engenisiwe lapho yethula i-Corvette entsha ngo-2021. I-nameplate eyaziwayo futhi elindelwe kakhulu, kodwa ngokulinganayo kunesidingo sokuvala imoto yezemidlalo edumile kanye ne-C8 entsha enenjini ephakathi. I-Stingray inganikeza i-GMSV imbangi yemoto enkulu ngentengo encishisiwe. Imoto yeqhawe ephelele yokwakha i-GMSV eminyakeni embalwa ezayo.
Ikhwalithi Hhayi Ubuningi
U-Holden ube muhle kakhulu isikhathi eside kangangokuthi noma yini engaphansi kokuhola ibonakale njengesinyathelo sokuhlehla. Uma usuhambe phambili iminyaka, indawo yesibili ibukeka kabi, noma ngabe kusasho ukuthi udayisa kakhulu izimoto.
Eminyakeni embalwa ngaphambi kokushona kwakhe okokugcina, walahlekelwa yindawo yakhe ephezulu eshadini lokuthengisa lakwaToyota, kodwa kwaba esinye sezibonakaliso eziningi zokuthi uHolden usenkingeni.
Okuphawuleka kakhulu wukusuka kuma-sedan amakhulu njengeCommodore kuya kumaSUV, okube yintandokazi emindenini. UHolden ubezibophezele kwiCommodore futhi akakwazanga ukusuka kuyo wangena kumaSUV ngokushesha njengoba kwaToyota, Mazda, noHyundai.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi, u-Holden bekulindeleke ukuthi agcine indawo yakhe phansi ohlwini lokuthengisa. Lokhu kwandisa ingcindezi kumkhiqizo nakubasebenzi bawo.
Nakulokhu, i-GMSV akufanele ikhathazeke ngokuthi isebenza kanjani ngokwemibandela yokuthengisa; okungenani hhayi ngendlela efanayo ne-Holden. UGM ukubeke kwacaca zisuka ukuthi i-GMSV iwuhlelo "olubalulekile" - ukudayisa izimoto ezimbalwa kubabukeli abasezingeni eliphezulu.
I-Silverado 1500, isibonelo, ibiza ngaphezu kuka-$100, ngaphezu kwentengo ephindwe kabili ye-Holden Colorado. Kodwa i-GMSV ngeke ithengise ama-Silverado amaningi njenge-Colorados, ikhwalithi phezu kobuningi.
indawo yokukhula
Okunye okuhle ngesiqalo esisha se-GMSV nokugxila kakhulu ekutheni akumele ikhathazeke ngamasegimenti emakethe lapho u-Holden ekade eqhudelana khona ngokwesiko enciphayo. Ngakho-ke ungalindeli ukuthi i-GMSV izokunikeza ama-hatchback noma ama-sedans omndeni noma nini maduze.
Kunalokho, kubukeka sengathi kuzogxilwa ku-Silverado ne-Corvette esikhathini esifushane, kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi maningi indawo yokukhula. Njengoba sike sabhala ngaphambili, kunezinhlobo ezimbalwa zeGM e-US ezinamandla e-Australia.
Amandla emakethe yendawo ye-premium ngokungangabazeki azokwenza abaphathi be-GM bacabangele ukukhulula amamodeli e-Cadillac Down Under. Bese kuba nohlu lwezimoto ze-GMC kanye ne-Hummer yayo kagesi ezayo.
