It means I will never drive future Vauxhalls. I have a serious aversion to all things French. 

How about a nice Buick Lacrosse tourer...

Not to say I told you all so, of course 

Well of it does happen, I think I'll start buying Saab, the Swedish know how to make Cars without interference.

SAAB? Good luck finding a decent one.

If it happens they might be able to really compete with VW and Ford in dominating the European market.
Plus, two good car manufacturers joining forces schouldn't end badly 

But we're not talking about 2 good car manufacturers, are we...

Note to self : stock pile 10w40 SS and 5w30 FS before the frogs legs take over and do away with TC and triple the price of everything.

2nd note to self : give zero fnarks in any other regard. at all. like literally... zero.

Vauxhall don't make anything inspiring any more, I'm considering a Zafira Tourer as MrsT next car at some point but that's only because I can't afford a similar age Ford S-Max.

The Insignia is a woeful, on paper ticks right boxes but in reality it comes across cheaply made and and dull.

Apart from a Monaro, there is no other Vauxhall I want to own.

Which actually makes them a perfect fit with PSA; who wakes up and thinks I really need a Peugeot on my drive to make my life complete?

Older generation likes them, GrampsT would only have Pugs since late 90's 

Just reading up on the article, 16 years consecutive losses, mounting to 15 billion. 

So just a few years off the time they stopped making the Omega 

[Bojan]

So, no real chansses of seeing a RWD opel any time soon?
As french engineers, apparently, forgot how the propshaft looks like.

But they stopped building worthwhile cars well before that   Peugeot used to be the French equivalent of Rover: worthy, well made, conservative and very dull cars. The Top Gear film on how Peugeot avoided a gentle slide into mediocrity by diving straight into the rubbish end of the market wasn't a joke.


As for the losses, it just reinforces what I wrote earlier: dead, but haven't quite realised it yet.

Exactly. Pipe and slippers all the way. Only for those who feel they've had enough excitement in their life. (save for the sudden immolation of the odd electrical component).

Hey - they should do well with the Zafira blower resistor packs.

OH NO!
