Well Holden already started the shrinking, the new Sportwagon is much shorter than the old stationwagon whihc was great for fleets but not so good as the family car. Holden also has the discussions about making the Commodore lighter/more fuel efficent.

GM could conceivably invest a bit more in Zeta to make the platform better etc and make it more desirable (again!) for RWD vehicles. The Alpha is needed, but they could push Zeta to the next level as a majority of the invest & work is done.
