Holden CEO Interview
CarsGuide interviews Denny Mooney, Holden’s CEO.
Basically: Things are tough right now; VE will be really good; Ford beat us with Territory and we don’t have a counter-punch; small Korean cars will let us win the price war.
How are things at Holden?
Things are pretty difficult right now.
Anytime you make an announcement like we made on the third shift is difficult for everybody. Not just the people at the plant and their families. Everyone wonders what’s going on in the business and the future of the business.
It’s not unlike what’s going on in the auto business worldwide. I tell people that if they don’t like cars and you don’t like competition, they might not want to be in the auto business.
It’s certainly not the most positive of interviews.
