Vauxhall Brexit after 2020?

Because, as they themselves openly admit, nobody outwith France really wants to buy French cars.

They were probably talking about Germany, in which case buying a German brand makes perfect sense.

Yeah, a 5.8% "surge" from a rock-bottom position is a giant indication of progress.

5.8% increase in sales for a big ticket item manufacturer is a very good result.

I stand corrected. So whereas before they were only selling 20 vehicles a year outside of garlic-la-la-land, they have now bumped that figure up to 21!

Way to go PSA!!!

"PSA's global sales volume rose to 3.146 million vehicles in 2016 from 2.973 million the previous year, the Paris-based company said in a statement on Wednesday. "

I used to work in the motor-finance trade, and what strikes me is how closely this statistical survey matches what industry insiders say. In particular, 'wise insiders' will tell you to buy German or Japanese cars for reliability, while avoiding French cars like la peste (the plague).

What's more, this also closely reflects my own experiences as a car buyer. The most reliable car my wife has ever owned was her 1997 Volkswagen Polo, which was an absolute joy to drive and run.

On the other hand, the absolute worst car my spouse has ever owned is her 2003 Renault Megane Scenic. While it scores well for its engine performance and driving comfort, her Renault has an awful record for electrical reliability. Indeed, we've spent thousands of pounds replacing faulty electrics since we bought my wife's Renault in 2004.

5.6% growth in an established mature cut-throat competition industry of big ticket commodity items this is very impressive.

What was sales growth in your business last year?

I am not a salesman, I am an engineer.
I continue to sell my niche skills at the top end of the market.
