Opel: Hello Vauxhall. We have a new car coming out. We are going to call it after our founder Herr Opel’s son, Karl.

Vauxhall: Hi, ye’, one thing. Opel and indeed Karl has noting to do with the founding of Vauxhall.

Opel: Yes, but this is what we do. You call a car a Nova, we call it a Corsa, you end you calling it a Corsa also, just like the Cavalier becam e the Vectra, etc...

Vauxhall: Ye’, no, not going to happen. BRB

.

Vauxhall: Kevin!

Kevin (assistant): Yes sir!

Vauxhall: Kevin. What names aren’t we using at the moment?

Kevin: Erm, let me look!............. We aren’t using the name Viva. Holden were using it up until 2009. Is that okay?

Vauxhall: Oh ye’, the Viva was a popular car. The name has some pedigree. Cheers Kevin. Nice one. I’ve got Opel on the other line thinking we’re going to ignore our history and side in with theirs. Lol.

Vauxhall: Hey Opel, you still there?

Opel: Ye’, so what’s the plan?

vauxhall: Well we’re going to use an old name that was popular and has some traction to it here . Viva.

Opel: Oh ye’, I remember them. Nice.

Vauxhall: So what’s this new car look like? I hope it’s something that holds up to the Viva of old, something for the family and sporty.

Opel: I’ll e-mail a picture of the car over! .

cc: Vauxhall

Opel: Did you get my e-mail.

Vauxhall: Are you serious!?

Opel: Looks great yes?

Vauxhall: Seriously. I looks like a bag of shite. Are you idiots serious?

Opel: Erm, yes!

Vauxhall: Oh sod it, why not!? 

Hangs up.

To be fair though, the name Karl is the only really German thing about that car. It’s a Chevy , and a shitty one at that. It’s built in South Korea and exported to Europe.

I can understand that the new owners of Opel/Vauxhall want to get rid of it.
