Rob the cold harsh truth is GM was dumping billions into Europe and getting no where. This at a time where even Europe is buying less cars. Add to that they are going to force EV there so pulling out now let’s GM pump more money into the EV to challenge VW. Even Ford a long established brand in Europe if failing and declining in sales. Down under GM could not sell cars built in country cheap. Sales were declining for years as the country started to buy imported Mazda’s, Toyota’s and Hyundai’s that were built in Korea and Malaysia at much cheaper labor. They low ball the prices and end up undercutting Ford and GM till there was no money in it,
