“We are delighted to be Scotland’s biggest-selling car manufacturer for the eighth year running, and that Corsa is back where it belongs as Scotland’s best-selling car," Gordon Hannen, Vauxhall’s regional operations manager for Scotland, said.
"We are confident the new Astra, in showrooms now, will contribute to Vauxhall holding its ranking at the top of the Scottish car charts.”
The new Astra, launched last autumn, is already gaining ground on its rivals with first deliveries imminent. The Brit-built family hatchback’s recognition as 2015 Scottish Car of the Year cemented its success even further.
Vauxhall also took the Eco and Family car awards, while the company’s new VIVA drove away with the Compact car gong.
