Another Major Automotive Merger

[nathanbforrest45]

I've heard just the opposite about Opel, but they haven't been sold in the US since the mid 70's, so.......

I had a 2001 Cadillac Catera which was really an Opel Senator. I called it my Y1K car or "Why were all repairs $1,000.00". I had a six year extended warranty on the car, the minute the warranty was up I traded the car.

Some people say a Chevrolet Corvette is crap. Others say any ford product is crap. Personally I say the more competition, the better.

I read where Opel is going to reintroduce a modernized version of the Opel GT and get into the American market. I think it’s a good idea.

I don't know much about the Opel GT, but maybe that's a better offering from them. I mostly just found that the Aura and Astra were pretty bad.

I might be wrong, but Opel and Saturn were two completely different automakers. They were just owned by the same corporation so to speak.


Opel has not been in the American market since the mid 70’s.

It's 2 different brands, although GM had a strategy of bringing over some Opels since the 2000s. They put the Astra and Aura under Saturn until it folded. Then they put the Astra under Buick. I'm not sure if the Aura is sold anywhere in the US now, however.

My Saturn Astra was built in the same Belgian factory that made the Opel version.

I just looked it up, but the Opel GT was sold in America briefly as the Saturn Sky. The Sky was admittedly one of the better cars under Saturn. In hindsight, I should've bought that back when I got the Astra instead.

There’s three, oops four, Opels for sale on American showroom floors right now.
