Thinx,

I am happy we got Aston Martin but it’s just a start…..

50merc,

Cockney rhyming:

“Cheesy Quaver” = Favour.

So GM’s UK subsidiary Vauxhall has gotten a bad rep, and the cure is … a new logo? It’s reminiscent of GM’s remedy for the bad reputation earned by their dealers’ service departments: the mythical Mr. Goodwrench.

Oh, and Katie — does “do me a cheesy quaver” translate to “please pass the cheese-flavored potato chips”?

Well, price points being what they are, Vauxhall’s upper models DO indeed end up competing (poorly) with low-end Bimmers, Audis, et al. That doesn’t make them competitive, particularly when it comes to resale value, of course.

KatiePuckrik: “British nationalism”?! Bunch of arse!

Aren’t you the same person who recently said something like “We got Aston Martin back”? What was that all about? :-)

I like the new logo. But, unless you make it big, will people really notice?

Funny how similar it looks to GM’s Holden logo.

The only thing stronger than 3-Series sales in the UK is British nationalism.

Do me a cheesy quaver! If british nationalism is prevalent, Rover would not have gone under! Every car maker who advertises inthe UK practically forces their nationalism in the face of the UK public and we accept it! I’ll draw your attention to FIAT selling their Punto as “The Italian Job, remixed” with a red, white and green Punto driving around or Renault as “createur d’automobiles”. Or how about, VW advertising the “Germanness” of their cars with “liebe aus automobil”?

“British nationalism”?! Bunch of arse!

Oh and Vauxhall cars suck, no matter what logo they use…..
