Sandie ◊ 2010-11-29 00:22	Built in Spain?
Gomselmash11 ◊ 2010-11-29 00:25	for the UK? sure?
Sandie ◊ 2010-11-29 00:34	Yes. Can't think of anywhere else it was built and there are no European plants listed on Wikipedia other than Zaragoza. That said the Wiki article also states that this Corsa was the second Vauxhall to share a name with its Opel cousin so goodness knows how accurate it is.

I reckon one single plant simply wouldn't be enough to meet the demand in Europe. AFAIK there is a quite simple regulation: Most 5-door cars come from Zaragossa, Spain while the majority of the 3-door cars is assembled in Eisenach/Germany. I'm not sure, but I guess that Vauxhall Corsas are and were assembled in both facilities.
