Why A Certain Car Manufacturers Dealers Will Be Jubilant This Year

by prettyone

Currently Vauxhall dealers are experiencing a period of
prosperity that has not been evident in the last twenty years. A
recent report has put Vauxhall as the best selling car brand
within Britain, good news for the dealers. With thousands of cars
sold in the last few years they are currently outstripping the
competition such as Ford and VW, in terms of sales. Added to
this, the million mile test drive program seems to have been a
success. Clearly getting drivers behind the wheels of their cars
has proven fruitful for Vauxhall as a brand as well as individual
dealers.

But why has Vauxhall experienced such a growth in its sales
figures? Predominantly it has been through the efforts of the
designers. While a Vauxhall of the past was purely a practical
option, stylists have placed elegance and contemporary good looks
at the top of their list of priorities. Estimates have placed
Vauxhall with an almost fifteen percent market share, over one
percent clear of their nearest rival, Ford. Dealers are obviously
experiencing a boom time in terms of sales.

This may however be changing for Vauxhall dealers, while sales
in general may be up; a recent list of Europe's most popular cars
for 2007 has been released. In first position was the excellent
little Peugeot 207, although within the UK this popularity is not
necessarily reflected. The Vauxhall Corsa still proves to be both
popular Europe-wide and within the UK. Sales figures from dealers
record that over 94,000 models were sold throughout 2007.
Obviously buyers are increasingly swayed by this cars development
and heritage as a small town run around as it becomes one of the
'old geezers' of the small car market.

More worrying for Vauxhall dealers will be the continuing
popularity of the Ford Focus over their competing model, the
Astra; while the Focus still proves to sublimely popular as a
small family car the Astra is still in its wake. In 2007, while
the car did experience a growth in sales, dealers will still be
worried by the 13,000 car deficit to rivals Ford. This problem
will probably be exasperated by the fact that a new Focus will
hit the forecourts of dealers in the next few months.

The annual sales figures overall show a great year for Vauxhall.
At the top of the chart is the seemingly unbeatable Ford Focus
with 126,928 units registered. The Astra however places as runner
up with 113,894 units registered, which will please dealers
somewhat. The picture is repeated with the small car figures;
Ford edging ahead of Vauxhall with sales of their Fiesta at
102,872 and Corsa sales at 94,120. Seemingly these two giants
still rule the UK car market with only the Volkswagen Golf
entering the top five from other car manufacturers.

Dealers will be buoyed however when looking at the top ten
registrations for 2007. As stated previously the Vauxhall Astra
and Corsa placed second and fourth but just edging in at tenth
was the Vectra; the larger saloon model with 50,983 registrations
in the last twelve months. This means that Vauxhall have three
cars in the top ten, more than any other car manufacturer. It is
only Ford and Renault that come close with two entries each.

The figures give an idea of the bigger picture, Vauxhall dealers
have had a great year in terms of sales. They can safely say that
they are the most popular brand in the UK for 2007, just taking
the sales of the three top ten models they can boast figures of
almost 260,000 units registered. While Ford is still the main
competition, it seems at least at the moment that Vauxhall are on
top.
