PSA, to buy Vauxhall

Seems a done deal, if there is a sell out, what will happen to all the Robots?

Though no guarantee, they've said there'll be no job losses until 2020....I bet.

Peugeot closed their Ryton Plant 10 years ago, with mass job losses around the Coventry area, but I guess the folks of Coventry still purchased Peugeot products. If or when this happens with Vauxhall, will the Brits still buy them?

Maybe PSA will use this as a way to get their cars into the uK market place.

We could be seeing large numbers of French cars being built in the UK.

Hasn't there been a massive recall of Vauxhall Zafiras recently? Something to do with them bursting into flames at the drop of a hat. Could explain why the parent company want rid. :;

Hi

I doubt it.

PSA is effectively controlled by the French Government, who own a large stake in it.

Nissan is not Japanese, it is owned by Renault, which is also effectively controlled by the French Government.

Far more likely they will go to France.
