Holden's CEO has already said the next Commodore will be a downsized front wheel drive car.
Both the Falcon and Commodore as we them will both cease to exist from 2016.

It is bad news for the 1200 workers and numbers of other sector workers as a result of the knock on effect.

Very sensible posting!
You won't notice any difference in your local dealer, the same number of people will work there, just a few new faces on the forecourt.
