Usefully it means we can easily identify people like you, because they all drive cars with a VW badge or a BMW badge.

However competent Vauxhalls/Opels may be, these cars persistently fail to make any visual impression because there is nothing that defines a Vauxhall/Opel. Its not a question of premium branding but rather one of recognizability. A Fiat 500 is instantly recognizable as such, so is a Mini, Skoda has evolved a highly distinctive design language, Ford changes its design language rather too frequently but one can usually pick out a Ford as a Ford. But Vauxhall/Opel dont seem interested in building brand image.

Vauxhall do have a house style. I call it jelly mould styling. A lot of their cars look like they have come out of a child's jelly mould. I hate Astra's and Vauxhall's in general because they are shit cars that make my back and head ache. Woeful body control, harsh ride, you name it. If its a negative attribute, Vauxhall embody it apart from cheapness and crash safety. Hate them the avengeance.
"Woeful body control, harsh
There - fixed it for you.
A3 wins because of the badge?
Badge or just plain different and other reasons for on top
Apart from different type of rear suspension, different setup, more 4 wheel drive options, more engine options etc but apart from that they're identical.
The award wasn't based on just mechanics, also they look totally different from outside, looks totally different from inside, I could go on.
