TBH, it's been dead since 2017 when GM pulled the plug on manufacturing. Certainly sad to see it totally go away, but I cant imagine many Holden enthusiasts are saddened by it other than maybe those who had the crazy hope they might fire it back up again.

As a GTO owner though, I am a bit concerned about what this may mean for future parts availability. Parts are already getting harder to find, I can't imagine this will help the situation (at least for shared PNs).

Heard that the Trans Am is making a limited comeback for a special model; parts are a big issue to enthusiasts like us. It's gonna hurt that these cars are just driving pieces of history.
