How Your Brand Can Use Nationality To Aid Brand Identity
Ford and Vauxhall are two of the most popular car manufacturers in the UK, they both have huge ranges which appeal to a very wide demographic. It is odd then that many people are misguided about the nationality of these manufacturers, many people I speak to are under the impression that both Ford and Vauxhall are British Manufacturers.
Why could this be? Many people know that VW Mercedes and the Audi Q7 are Synonymous with German quality and precision engineering, and that Italian sports cars like Ferraris, Lambos and Bugattis are all about passion, speed and good looks? Do they really have distinct characteristics? I would have to say no, You can't really pin Ford down to making super quick sports cars, or family saloons, or city cars, they do everything, ditto with Vauxhall.
It is this lack of identity that contributes to people being unaware of their nationality. Anyhow, if you don't know yourself I'm going to put you out of your misery. Ford and Vauxhall are both American brands. Surprised? May people are. It is the aggressive re-branding of their business in different countries that makes them hard to pin down.
Ford stock a completely different range of cars in the U.S, although some models like the Mondeao are marketed under different names, they are longer and more powerful but not as agile to cope with long straight U.S highways, they don't have the Ford Fiesta for example. Vauxhall operate under the name of their parent company, GM who also pedal a totally different range of cars for the yanks.
To make things even more confusing, GM not only rebrands its cars from the U.S to the UK, but also differentiates between the UK and the rest of Europe. In Europe Vauxhalls are called Opels, are fitted with car mats and have a different badge. This is all to do with what the marketers deem appropriate for each region but it seems to be that it just confuses people. Just to make things even more confusing still, the European Vauxhall/Opel range is available in Oz but under another rebrand - Holden but some models are also exported to the UK under the Holden badge as well as being available in Vauxhall guise!
