Given the current state of affairs involving GM Europe’s Opel and Vauxhall, it’s good to hear that the Vauxhall Corsa led Britain’s automotive market, accounting for 8,413 sales and 5.2 percent in overall market share in May 2012. Just behind the Corsa was the Ford Fiesta, with 8,337 units sold. Year-to-date, the Corsa sits #2 in Britain, at 38,347 units and up 4.4 percent.
