Vauxhall

[Willy Nilly]

Where is does the Vausxhall brand get sold other than the UK?

I wonder why GM doesn't just market them all as Opel

[Codswallop]

Nostalgia probably. Or perceptions of Britishness and brand history.

I'm not aware of any other places where Vauxhall are sold, but GM rebrands the same car (Astra for example) as a Saturn in the USA, and a Holden in Oz, so we're not the only market with special badging.

I remember when they sold Opels and Vauxhalls in separate dealerships. I'd much rather have an Ascona over a Cavalier or Manta over a Sportshatch.

Then they called them the same names. Vauxhall Cavalier became the Vectra, but equally the Kadett became the Astra.

Ho hum.

[Negative Creep]

Apparently European Barry Boys like sticking Vauxhall badges on their Opels, as it's seen as cooler. So that's something.
