On 16 November 1925, Vauxhall was acquired by General Motors Corporation for US$2.5 million. As the first significant post-acquisition passenger car, the Cadet, initially retailing at £280, is generally regarded as demonstrating Vauxhall's newly acquired interest and expertise in controlling production costs, but it was also the first British car to feature a synchromesh gearbox.

Known for their family saloons the introduction of the Vauxhall Viva small family car was launched to compete with the likes of the Mini and Ford Anglia. Vauxhall's reputation for making rust-prone models is ancient history now and the current corrosion protection is the equal of any in the industry.
