GM Europe has created a website called Facts and Fiction to help address comments circulating in the media about the future of the business.

The website, http://gmeuropefactsandfiction.com, aims to provide facts to help dispel rumours.

GM said: “There is some fair and informed reporting about GM Europe, Opel & Vauxhall supported by facts.

“Unfortunately there is also misinformation, uninformed opinion, myths and urban legends that we read and hear. In fact, some really good fiction. But that's all it is. Fiction.

“GM Europe Facts & Fiction is not about our spin nor propaganda. It's not about our opinion nor about our perspective. For each popular myth we state the facts, plain and simple. And we stand behind these facts. We hope this will help to sort out fact from fiction. And when you read some fiction about us, please send them a link to this site and help correct misinformation.”
