Still remember the Opel Cadet.
Had a friend while serving in Turkey *USAF*
He had a wife what weighed 360 lbs if she weighed a pound.
He was a 135 lb skinny rail.
His Opel Cadet always tilted to the right regardless of the direction of travel - left or right around corners.

Why save Opel?
This company has NEVER had a decent vehicle sort of like Yugo.

This could get really interesting. Magna is owned by Frank Stronach and is based north of Toronto. Frank also until recently owned several major US horse racing venues and is the father of former member of Parliament Belinda Stronach. Magna parts are widely used by several auto companies, both foreign and domestic, that manufacture in North America. There's a better than average chance that many interior and system parts in any car bought recently in Canada or the US were made by them. Assembling a complete auto for them should not be much more of a stretch than consolidating stuff they already do on a single platform.

I strongly suspect we may see a rebirth of these brands in North America in the coming years, with models unlike anything they had before. Stronach has a habit of solid success, and he built the business from nothing.
