We have a Vauxhall car franchise nearby but I drive a Honda and would never consider swapping to a Vauxhall. The reason? Those flaming annoying knitted doll things that appear in their advertising shouting 'C'mon'. We're supposed to believe that these knitted gremlins can drive cars, give flirty women cyclists a lift (using the fitted bike-rack), and drop their kit in front of startled women motorists. They're not seen so much on tv any more but are all over the Vauxhall garage on posters and flyers - so that's enough to keep me out of the showroom despite their recent lifetime warranty offer. Do the idiots in the advertising department realise that such stupid adverts are losing the company business?
