I thought GM owned Opel?

Part of the big sell off of the bankruptcy of 2009................

This is great. At least 20 pretentious college professors are panting for the chance to buy an obscure French car. The other professors will continue to drive Subarus, and all the normal people will keep on driving what they’re driving. Good luck, Frenchies!

[jjotto]

Great. Another answer to a question no one asked.

GM sold Opel a couple years ago.

It’s a shame, too, since this German hot rocket had been a winner in the US.
(Back in the 70s...)

DETROIT (AFP) - French automaker PSA confirmed Thursday its plan for a gradual return to the US market even if Washington follows through on a threat to impose tariffs of up to 25 percent on auto imports.

Their timing could be better. If the tariffs are permanent then I'd bet that changes their plans.

[rjsimmon]

Great idea. They make such lovely automobiles...

I believe GM sold Opel, with the proviso that Opels not be sold in the United States.

There is a way around this, however, if PSA wants to take it. When GM was making Saturns (which it shouldn’t have stopped doing), the body styles were based on Opel models. The Saturn Aura body, for example, while it was virtually identical to the Impala, was based on the Opel Vectra.

PSA should buy the Saturn brand, the nameplate, and go back to making “domestic Opels” as Sautrns.

BTW, Opel is Vauxhall in Britain.

I can't wait! I always wanted a car with a label.

[RayChuang88]

I think it could be much earlier than that. Especially if they can get a Citroen-branded electric car on the market by 2021.

[Gay State Conservative]

The French don’t even buy French cars...so now *I* am expected to do so?

[loucon]

Just visited the Opel website. Cars look pretty dumpy compared to the 69 GT I used to have.

[clintonh8r]

I look forward to it. The more choices in the market the better.

[super7man]

Rented a Citroen diesel in Europe. Nice car. I would buy one.

[AlaskaErik]

Good luck selling cars in a CUV world.

[fella]

Hope they reintroduce that Opel that looks like a miniature Corvette.

[Constitution Day]

Unless they can come up with something as advanced as the Citroën SM, they should reconsider.

[Feckless]

After the re-worked Minis and Fiat 500 I’ve been wondering who was gonna do the Duck (2CV4).

[GunHoardingCapitalist]

I would give one of my man berries to have another ‘63 Opel Kadett.

[Carriage Hill]

Even at gunpoint, I wouldn’t own or drive any of those three POSs.

[Deplorable American1776]

Opel was sold last year...I had a 68 Opel (underrated car). Peugeot I had a 505 and it was nice...now Citron, I don't know if I want a Lemon for a car...😀
