We Blog Any Car thoughts………….
This is automotive car consolidation on a massive scale.

If the PSA group (who know how to do business in Europe) pump big money into Opel Vauxhall, share technologies and platforms… and the new car sales picture starts to look better in Europe, life could be good for all parties.

I am optimistic with the deal.

Time will tell!!
