Opel Insignia Teaser Shot Released
March 13th, 2008
Opel has released yet another teaser picture for the new Insignia. It has been a few months since we have heard or seen anything – but now Opel is putting it out there for discussion and hoping to get the interest of the people before its release later this year.
While this may only be a teaser picture and we may not see much of it at all it is enough to get us talking again. The Insignia will be replacing the Vectra or as we know it better – the Saturn Aura. It will become a sedan, five-door hatch, and a wagon and will be built on the platform of the FWD Epsilon II.

Opel May Close Down Plant

General Motors stated that it might have to close an Opel plant in Europe when it launches its next generation of Astra cars. “With respect to any individual plant ‘being at risk’, as stated in various media reports, it is highly speculative to draw that conclusion today,” GM Europe said in a statement. The Financial Times quoted Opel head Hans Demant as saying one of its main plants might have to go and that GM should have cut more jobs when it got rid of 12,000 workers in the region.
Opel Speedster
January 16th, 2007
In an era of look-alike designed vehicles, there’s no mistaking the 2002 Opel Speedster. First introduced at the 1999 Salon de l’Automobile in Geneva in concept car form, it was a bold visual contrast to the workaday sedans, and coupes sold by General Motors’ big European marque.
Impossibly low, with a rakish nose and bodacious muscular fenders, it was striking front to back, with a unique, vertically stacked dual exhaust. Just two years later, an amazingly brief interval in automotive terms, the Speedster is back, this time in roadworthy trim.
