Which is your favourite Vauxhall? Not a question we regularly ask, but we suspect you"re shouting "VXR8!" or "Lotus Carlton!" at the screen nonetheless. But if you live in or around Luton, it probably ought to be this one. This is the Vauxhall Vivaro, and it"s currently made in Luton. And it will be for some time yet. Vauxhall has announced that the next Vivaro as well as the Citroen and Peugeot vans spun from the same box of bits will be made in Luton when they start production in 2019. It"s wonderful news for UK carmaking, given the question mark that appeared over Vauxhall"s British factories when the company was taken over by the PSA Group, aka Peugeot Citroen.
