Vauxhall Car News – Vauxhall Aims To Take The Lead Over Ford By 2016

Vauxhall have set their goals high as they aim to beat their arch rival Ford in order to be named the UK’s biggest selling carmaker by 2016.

It may seem too early to be thinking of the year 2016 but with strong sales from the Vauxhall team the car making title is only a stone throw away. With volumes up 13% thanks to demands for Corsa, Astra and Insignia models, Vauxhall are on point to take the crown.

It has been announced that the company has made around 280,000 sales this year which would mean a 20.5% increase on last years figures. If Vauxhall keep producing figures like this, they will be well on their way to beating Ford.

It’s no secret that we’re a fan of everything Vauxhall, I mean we are Vauxhall specialists! So make sure you check out our blog frequently for the latest Vauxhall news updates.
