Don't forget the cars would probably be about 10-15% cheaper if the exchange rates had not been stuff by the Brexit vote when you could get 1.45 dollars to the pound!

And about $2.50 before we joined the EU - just saying.
Politics is a manipulation to line pockets from whichever gravy train has the most freight. The UK has been in a downward spiral since we took out massive loans to pay for WW2. Then there is the progressive fragmentation of the 'empire' and then 'commonwealth' and now UK as little factions all jump to become bigger fish in ever smaller ponds. It used to rattle around a steady $5 to the pound before then.
So it dropped $5 to $2.50 before we joined the EU.
Vauxhalls are made in Germany!

The argument about the availability of skilled workers being easier to acquire in Germany and being essential is complete tosh.
Meanwhile, I am fighting within my company to expand our manufacturing base in the UK, and the only thing I find worse than Brexit is this local defeatist attitude! Why is is logical to be Germany? UK labor is FAR cheaper (unionised or not), so are utilities - especially if can generate your own, and there is far better access to ports.He and many others just use Brexit as an easy cop out, instead of finding a reasonable explanation, it was logical to be Germany anyhow.
