I meant to say the Cruze hatch has not added to sales they thought it would. They would have predicted higher sales with Cruze hatch but it has really only substituted sedan sales, you can see that its competitors have moved well past Cruze in sales. Holden were expecting the hatch to increase sales a lot and keep it up with the 3 and Corolla, but hasn't happened yet.
Well Holden was build in a combined 480/day with the break down being 300/day Commodores and 180/day Cruze
but it's now down to 360/day ..... I wonder if it's 180/day for both of them?
