This link will open in a new window Founded in 1903, Vauxhall Motors has been making cars in the UK for over a century. The company makes a range of passenger cars, as well as a line of light commercial vehicles. Vauxhall's models include the Agila mini MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), the Astra (plus a convertible model), the Insignia (four-door saloon, five-door hatch, or sports tourer), and the Meriva family car. The company's light commercial vehicles comprise the Astravan and the Combo. It also makes cars under GM's Opel and Holden brands, and offers Saab car fleet sales services. Acquired by General Motors in 1925, Vauxhall looked to car-part maker Magna to purchase Opel from its GM Europe parent in 2009, saving jobs from GM's bankruptcy wave.

Competitive Landscape for Vauxhall Motors Limited
Demand is driven by employment and interest rates. The profitability of individual companies depends on manufacturing efficiency, product quality, and effective marketing. Large companies have economies of scale in purchasing and marketing; smaller companies can compete by focusing on specialized markets. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is nearly $2 million. US-based automakers compete with numerous foreign rivals, including companies such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan that have extensive auto assembly operations in the US. Through stateside manufacturing capacities and exports to the US, foreign carmakers collectively have about half of the US market. US auto manufacturers' financial positions have deteriorated dramatically in recent years. The "Detroit Three" (Chrysler, Ford, and GM) have suffered from import competition and high cost structures. High gas prices, few small car offerings, and near record-low consumer demand during the late 2000s recession drove Chrysler and GM into bankruptcy, where their debts were restructured. Chrysler and GM also received billions in loans from the US and Canadian governments. Ford, which has joined GM and Chrysler in various government incentive programs but has not received direct federal investment, avoided bankruptcy largely due to more than $20 billion in secured and unsecured loans it took out in 2006.
