80% YES 80%! of Vauxhall production is "Free cars"...or lease hire market. I wonder how many they sell if they only had private buyers?

A doomed company, we see Opel/Chevy dealerships by next year.

I do wonder if this is a tipping point where we are going to see a number of "Brands" simply die?

Opel/Vauxhall
Fiat
Pug/Cit

The head of VW that we will see a number of well know Eurpean brands die in the very near future. I see the GM has stopped production again for a week at its plants...........hmmmm.
