Holden 
Word has it there'll be a highly strung 1.6-litre turbo version of the Cruze brought in to fight against VW's Golf GTi - but whether it will make it here in 2011 isn't clear. "affordable" - we're predicting a sub-$40K price-tag.
HSV
HSV's big move came in 2010 with the E3 update that brought more gadgets and features, but 2011 is looking slim as far as all new models go.
While rumours persist of an upcoming supercharged V8, it appears 2012 will be the earliest we'll see it. As for this year, expect the occasional limited edition variant before HSV possibly starts looking at making its mark on the locally produced Holden Cruze (artist's impression shown) further down the track.
had a good laugh reading this,
I drove and bought a few Holdens (Commodores, Vectra, Astra, Gemini) for almost 25 years, and there is no way Holden can make a GTI competitor, especially if it is based on a Korean car, as for HSV, think they will lose their credibility doing a Cruz.
When Holden stopped selling the Vectra, I wrote to them to complain and they responded by telling me that they didn't cater to minority customers like me. if I wanted a European car, look else where.

If GMH was serious about selling proper cars they would bring over the Insignia and the Astra. Top shelf models are giving VW a run for their money in Europe. Cruze, powered by a 1.6 turbo, competing with the GTI? That's a joke, surely.
HAHAHA
