Great car, cool n informative video, Thanks.

Opel should really separate itself from GM, It's the only profitable division of this company, but the money goes to the US, to fill the holes, NA GM loses.

cool car. is opel really a counterpart of "Vauxhall"?

[bennicool888]

@libetta Vauxhall is the british Version of Opel. The OPEL Insignia has the most gratulations ever and not Chevrolet Shit and something others...

[paulhojda]

@libetta it's the other way round

[retetikker]

Very nice car. :)

but opel should do 2 things

1) Stop using crap made by other car brands.

2) Seperate from GM

[AchtungBaby79]

I think the Design is a compromise between Audi and BMW.

[fedupdeliveryservice]

it almost looks like a benz as the video moves

[nuchikim]

Vauxhall is a British mark and a subsidiary of General Motors.

Generally speaking...

European GM brands are sold as Vauxhalls in the UK.

Asian GM brands are sold as Chevrolets in the UK.

[libetta]

a bit confusing and misleading maybe. chevrolet has a more upmarket cousin in gmc, which is a little cheaper than cadillac. opel is a german car and its vauxhall cousin is also german(?) hmmm.. more likely it's just under gm's divisions

[nuchikim]

Not really.

More like Vauxhall is the mid level GM brand in the UK.

The lowest being Chevrolet and the highest Cadillac .

I think.

[libetta]

so vauxhall is the upermarket brand of opel?

[nuchikim]

Yep. Just about all Vauxhalls are rebadged Opels. The best Vauxhall ever was the rebadged Holden Monaro.

[DAWUD2000]

omg it is so sexi i love his hair

[Runeli0n]

I like new Opel.

[Sanyey]

hey hey.. your thinkin' to far in the future.. they announced a few days ago, that GM is planning on bringing an end to the brands:Pontiac, Saab, and Saturn too! :((

[Gathul]

Not exactly. Saturn will be it's twin. The design always starts in Germany (Opel) and then it travels overseas.
