Founded in 1903, Vauxhall Motors has been making cars in the UK for over a century. The company makes a range of passenger cars, as well as a line of light commercial vehicles. Vauxhall's models include the Agila mini MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), the Astra (plus a convertible model), the Insignia (four-door, five-door hatch, or sports tourer), and the Meriva family car. Many models come in an environmentally friendly ecoFLEX version. The company's light commercial vehicles comprise the Astravan and the Combo. Acquired by General Motors in 1925, Vauxhall is part of GM Europe. A deal to sell the company along with Opel to auto parts maker Magna was called off in 2009.
