Opel seems to be increasingly breaking away the most important sales market. While Vauxhall has already lost almost 20% of the registrations compared to 2016 over the whole year, in July now 42% (!!!) fewer vehicles were sold than in July 2017. This is of course a house number that shadows even the declines at that time in Russia and yet has something threatening to exist. After all, it is when we go through the full year 2017 from a minus of 75,000 vehicles in GB. In the UK Top 12 Vauxhall is the only manufacturer that loses significantly. Everyone else can increase or at least keep their sales figures on an annual basis. The press, British as well as German, hardly loses a word about it so far. Interestingly, the reasons for this are: – Is this the return carriage for the Feuerska ndal at the Zafira? – Brexit effects – but then why only Vauxhall? – Image loss due to the merger with Peugeot? (Peugeot also loses above average) VW and Audi with their exhaust gases are in any case hardly affected, Ford as also strongly located in GB manufacturer loses only 4% and is still the market leader.
