I despair of inept foreign owner management.
Two of the best company cars I have ever had have been Vauxhalls (a 1989 Cavalier SRi and a Vauxhall Omega) so I have a soft spot for them.
However today they seem to have totally lost their way. Their cars are just bland and the brand does not seem to stand for anything.
And this Adam is a pig in a poke. What on earth were they thinking? In order to compete profitably with Mini and the Fiat 500 it's going to have to be really really good. However the road test just seem to indicate that it is something of an also ran. It looks pig ugly - so it will be a failure. The tragedy of it is that so many UK jobs depend upon Vauxhall's success.
I think that given the car industry's fiscal troubles at the moment we will end up seeing some plant closures in the UK with the loss of too many jobs - lousy management and poor product decisions will be responsible. I just don't get it - anyone could see this before this crapper got off the drawing board.
Wake up and smell the coffee guys!!!!
