Interesting coming on the heals of a major stock sale by the Obamatons and they need $71 / share with the remaining stock to break even. Opel is a bleeping money pit, so is the rest of Europe right now for the Auto Industry. What do they see that I don't a turn around up the road? I can't see Europe Un-fubaring itself anytime soon...

The German auto buyer will typically demand a quality vehicle.
If GM hopes to compete in Germany, it has to upgrade its product line ....

Good to know that they have enough money to do that but not enough to finish paying their debt to the American taxpayers who kept them alive.

The last and only Opels worth mentioning, that I recall ever existing in the U.S., were the Opel GT, and the Manta series. That was somewhere in the mid-70’s, the same timeframe that saw Ford sell a Mustang with no guts and no soul, that GM came out with something called a Chevette (phonetically misspelled, of course).

Where is the $5.2 BILLION coming from?

It's such a simple question it probably will never get answered.

Is our perfidious government secretly funding this investment with our tax dollars, partially or fully?

I perused the article and such a minor detail wasn't even addressed.....which is why I smell a rat.

Everyone apparently gets so hung up on the design and power details of the auto itself that the BIG QUESTION is left hanging. How is the U.S. benefitting from this deal?

How many desperate Detroit workers will be hired in this Billion Dollar Baby deal? How many ravaged GM facilities in Detroit/Beirut will be rehabilitated?

How many MPG the German cars will get is NOT the question de jour.
