Lots of job losses I reckon. PSA have a good electric car platform. Fiat dont.

They sell another car, forget the name, and a pickup too. They are all I see though

I dont think anyone other than the workers will be bothered. I've owned a few Vauxhalls in the past and the quality these days isnt good.
