With a new Barina, hatchback Cruze, new Epica and VF Commodore - Holden might have the best range of cars since the 90's.
I don't know what Holden can do though to improve the Colorado's sales, Holden had the Rodeo name for a long time and you would have thought that it would have gained that reputation to outsell the Hilux. I'd have to agree with Matty and say the introduction of a compact SUV (and perhaps a larger one aswell) would increase sales. Also a new mid-size passenger vehicle wouldn't hurt either, from what I've heard we have to wait until 2011?
