Mrs Drago had a 308 GT. It was a great car for the few weeks she had it, until a deer committed high speed seppuku into the grille on the M45 one night.
Vauxhall possible take over.

What I cannot understand (which is par for the course as there are lots of things I can't understand 
).................is
a) if Vauxhall can't make it pay, how do Peugeot expect to turn it around?
b) if, as some have said, Peugeot plan to close Ellesmere Port down.......why don't Vauxhall just close it down ?
I have had a few Vauxhalls over the years and found them all to be nice comfortable drives............as is the Astra I have now.
Mind you I also had the pleasure of owning a Volvo C70 coupe for 2 years........now that blew me away.

Peugeot can cherry pick the models it wants and ditch the rest. For GM selling makes them money, closing costs a fortune and has political repercussions.What I cannot understand (which is par for the course as there are lots of things I can't understand

As Soichiro Honda once said, in the future there will only be five car manufacturers...............and one of them will be Morgan.

Because GM might retain ownership of some or all of GM Europe debts, leaving PSA some meat on the bone. We just don't know at this stage, although PSA clearly think there's some profit in it. PSA have turned their own fortunes around fairly well wince the crash, something GM have struggled with, so their recent track record inspires more confidence.
But until some real word is out, no knew really knows.

I'd quite happily run one, but I'm only interested in cars for their utility as a means of transport, not as a method of brand based willy wagging.
