So What’s The Word On Dorizas’ Departure?

Plenty of folks were taken aback by Gerry Dorizas’ sudden departure from Holden. After all, he had been there for only six months − what gives? For a guy who boldly proclaimed Holden “would return to Number One and topple Toyota by 2020,” he didn’t stick around to make it happen. Holden sales had just hit an 11-year low at that point, so the company was fresh for a turnaround with a bold leader.
But, according to CarsGuide, Dorizas started blaming dealers for Holden’s issues behind the scenes, even telling them to “sell more cars” while they continued to be saddled with a lineup that was long in the tooth. Holden has new models in the pipeline, but they are merely rebadged Opel models and not the product of Aussie culture. A truly all-new vehicle isn’t scheduled till 2016.
So perhaps Holden dealers should be celebrated for their efforts, as they have been doing their best to promote a range of vehicles in spite of leaders who focusing on the wrong things.

This is pure plagiarism of Josh Dowlings opinion piece in CarsGuide, he’s on the money though
Umm… how exactly is it “plagiarism?” The original article is referenced, credited, and reads far differently than this post.
Speaking as someone who in a previous career, convicted people that did plagiarize my articles… I can say this isn’t fair criticism.
Yes, GM Authority’s hiring drive has driven down the quality of articles. That’s what happens when you intake a lot of new writers, and they go out chasing quota… rather than quality journalism.
Please, GM Authority, less regurgitation, more real new news. I’ve seen blogs get destroyed by this pattern, even one or two that I’ve owned.
Joshua Dowling cops a lot of flack for being anti Holden and anti car industry in general but I think the guy has seen some things that have irked him and therefore shaped his views.
In regards to Gerry I think making the statement that Holden can return to number one by 2020 was a big mistake.
To quote a comment I have read recently on another forum “Once the tribal knowledge, culture and continuity of what made a brand is gone, it is pretty much gone for good”. This is the situation Holden is in.
