nah they dont own ford. companies owned by GM include Vauxhall, Opel, Daewoo, Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, Saab, Cadillac, and a few others. Ford own a couple of manufacturers themselves.

 

[WotswittheR]

vauxhall is based in luton but opel is based in germany where the testing etc is done, and opel are owned by gm so really its half-german half-yank with a british badge

Vauxhall began as Alex Wilson & Company (Steam Engineers) in London in 1857

Despite poor sales after the war Vauxhall still built sports versions of their basic models. Their weak financial position led to the American General Motors take-over of 1925

vaux doesn't manufacture in luton anymore, last vectra rolled off the line with a 51 plate. Vaux is the british division of opel, there's some sorta link with holden in Australia because the Holden Monaro is/was the same as the vaux monaro, and just to complicate things more, the new Pontiac GTO is the same as the monaro too... GM itself is based in Detroit, so overall they are well and truly american!

 

[Gazza_DJ]

so, all in all, we need more SBC powered cars in the UK with a vauxhall badge on them!
