Vauxhall, the venerable UK automaker (which I could have sworn only built Matchbox cars) is looking for kids between the ages of 10 and 15 for a new market research panel the company, a subsidiary of General Motors, is creating. The company's own research indicates 70% of British children are asked for their opinion when mum and dad are buying a new car. I wish my parents asked my advice before buying that Fiat 124 back in the 70s. Alas, they hauled it to the trash heap on its fifth birthday, and my tenth, after it turned to dust.
