Not really Vauxhall have been performing well in the UK market for a consisant amount of years now.
Opel has been dragging its heals for a number of years.
If this is as bad as it could be (if you forget all the jargon) this could have repocussions thought the whole industry.
This really isnt clever from what I can make out.
Suppose we shall have to wait and see.
If the unthinkable should happen (even though GM are very profitable generally speaking) the funding Vauxhall get for their projects could disapear............

old news really, GM have been in trouble for a while, hence them dropping Zeta and forcing Holden Australia to foot the whole god damn bill. well this is a good thing for australia though, since Zeta will be exported to europe for 2006/2007 Saab/Opel/Vauxhall sedan models

GM need a major re-shuffle within the USA, focus needs to be taken from big SUV's and money put into smaller more fuel efficient cars, just like europe. Australia is dragging its heels in this respect, Toyota was the number 1 seller last month ahead of Holden and Ford thanks to the Corolla and Echo.

It's true if you have the power to earn so much money you also have the worry of losing so much money
