It wont effect that for many years even if vauxhall fold tomorrow as those arent new cars anyway IME
The chav's will still be there though, they'll just drive saxos etc instead, like all the other chavs do, the corsa's only 'crime' (like the saxo) is to be a good value car with good performance potential on a budget.

surely if a company can sell as many cars as they do and still go bankrupt theyre doing something drastically wrong and arent worth saving?

just finding my feet
ford also have been loosing money and ford europe has been subsidising them for years,, now ford europe is in trouble and ford us cant use em to prop them up
the only hope i can see is the parts excemption is not being renewed in 2010 which mean that car companys dont have to warrant any non main dealer parts even though they are made by the same people just boxed different and also they dont have to allow aftermarket access to there computers ect to turn off warnings ect with vidis units ect,,, means alot of garages who have the snapon/vedis machines are gonna be screwed over too as most aint aware of it happening
that means that for the first 3 years main dealer work only for warrantys

Watchin the news last week they showed the ford plant in Cologne. They couldn't produce the new fiesta quick enough to keep up with demand. This was due to the Genman government givin cash insentives(about Ł2500k I think) to chop your old motor in for a new one

if main dealers never never ripped people off for YEARS before the block exemption then the wouldnt be in the trouble they are in now,, charge people 350 quid to change pads and discs when the parts cost 40 quid to have MADE FOR THEM then charge 3 times that to the customer, then labour ONTOP of that
wonder why main dealers are failing ??? GREED has killed the car industry from all sides,, the government/main dealers prices/credit companys who generaly are the main dealers "finance" company with there interest rates and design of cars with comon faults and not fixing them but rather making the parts for when the warrantys expire for them to get richer
