Holden is assuring owners they won't be left out in the cold.
General Motors is retiring the brand from New Zealand and Australia.
Motor Industry Association CEO David Crawford told Kate Hawkesby Holden is still in the top five cars being sold in New Zealand, but its popularity waned in Australia after Holden stopped producing Commodores.
He says Holden is also only in two markets - New Zealand and Australia.
"That represents a challenge for any manufacturer making a car for only two markets, you really need a global market these days."
Crawford says they're not rushing out the back door in a great hurry and leaving people in the lurch.
"Parts and service will be available for another 10 years."
