(Cross posting deleted, automatically) Not really hard to answer, just takes a little time. Go back two or three years ago, in this newsgroup, before GM's bankruptcy and Obama takeover, when they were still solidly the number one auto company in the world, in terms of sales. GM bashers constantly came over here with their incredible stories of how, their Toyota or Honda went 300,000 miles and never saw the inside of a mechanic's shop, while the 1981 Chevy Citation they bought broke down before they got if off the dealer's lot.

Vauxhall and Opel are really the same arm of GM where in England Ellesmere Port, make all the Astra's for both Marques and Luton Make all the vans for both marques. Factories around Europe make different models like Germany produces the Corsa with both badges, It's just that all the output of the combined factories make the full range and in Britain all the cars sold are all badged as Vauxhall, whereas in the rest of Europe the standard brand name is Opel. Where "Which?" Divides cars into five categories from very good to very poor,Vauxhall/Opel come out at the bottom of average. -- Clive
