GM sold Opel a couple years ago.
It’s a shame, too, since this German hot rocket had been a winner in the US.

I came "this" close to buying an Opal GT....wound up getting a new MG.
It was loads of fun driving it but it was easily the worst car I ever owned. MG Rust Orange with Navy Blue leather interior - it was hot back in the day.

I had a 1963 opel and drove it across the mountain back to school in Raleigh. There was a long grade going into Boone and the car would barely make 45 miles an hour in second gear. There were times I wsn’t sure it would make it up the mountain.
The good thing about it was a blue hi beam indicator light
