I agree. I see no reason why we couldn't just be Opel overe here. I am not sure Vauxhall even makes cars in the UK anymore.

Vauxhall is important to British buyers due to the history of the brand. Changing the cars to Opels would hurt sales figures for sure.

If GM had any marketing sense they would re-brand all their european car business Chevrolet and do away with Vauxhall and Opel which are totally insignificant in global terms.This brand idealy reflects it's American roots but with an exotic european name and would remove the existing confusion caused by having the same cars with different badges.

You can't be serious? Chevrolet means nothing over here. Correction, it means rebadged Daewoos. There is nothing exotic about the name Chevrolet. And Americans roots are not something that markets well to Europeans. This has to be the worst idea I have read ever.

It looks like the griffin is giving a "thumbs-up". With a freakishly long thumb. And a flag tied to it.

@bentley. that's an outstanding idea... really outstanding! Opel for example has it's very own tradition in Germany like Vauxhall in the UK and Holden in Australia. How can you think, we give it up for a label, that reminds us to big Pickups, V8-Vans, the Corvette or some fullsize limousines like the Caprice? In this time we know Lada Niva or Daewoo as Chevrolet. Another extreme for us. We are in the middle with Astra, Vectra, Corsa... that's all german engineering. and is rebadged as Vauxhall, Holden AND Chevrolet so far. Why we shoud change our traditions for complete different americans?

All I know is that if I was given the choice of three identical cars to drive with the only difference being the badges: Vauxhall;Chevrolet or Opel, I would choose the Chevrolet.

I agree with you.

I would most certainly not choose the Chevy. But if they were all the same, who really gives a rat's arse. You'd be pretty stupid to choose any one over the other.

Vauxhall is a proud brand that's over a century old and has at times made some of the best cars in the world. In the 1920s the 'Prince Henry' Vauxhall and the famous 30/98 were absolute rippers. So the heritage is there. Sure they made some clunkers in the 50s and 60s and 70s (as did Audi) but their current range is perfectly adequate and some of them are quite good. Your perception of the brand is based on recent experience, so if they keep making great cars well, over time you will think the Vauxhall name is quite cool.

Lutzie is right, vauxhall is becoming a decent company, much better then chevrolet. Everyone whosays they would own a chevy( which by the way is rebadged Deweo)over a vectra or insignia is a liar
