Actually, Opel is the euro version of Vauxhall, which is a GM brand in the UK.

Depends on _IF_ the car makes it to the US. The Chevy Malibu and Cadillac Catera were Opels. GM did bring an Opel over as an Opel in the '70s.

Opel is a brand with a long-standing tradition in Europe and today produces and sells vehicles worldwide. Opel was founded in 1862 in Rüsselheim, Germany and joined the General Motors family of cars and trucks in 1929.

Actually, isn't it that Opel is the main company (which in itself is owned by GM) but Vauxhall is a sister company, using parts etc in the the begining, but from the 1980s it started selling the same models as the European counterpart Opel.

Also, Opel in itself does not have a division in the US, but some of the cars are marketed under Cadillac (at least one is for sure, the Opel/Vauxhall Omega).

When I travelled to Europe I rented an Opel Vectra... very nice car. The engine has such a distinctive sound.. never heard anything like it. I think it was a turbo-diesel- can't remember now...

Do you get an equivalent to the holden commodore other than the GTO (based on the Monaro i know but i think it's all the same platform)?

 

[Papagayo]

It's from Germany..
They still makes them and they are beautiful.

It's sad that they don't export it to US.

I believe that they are rated below BMWs and Mercedes..

Nope, just the Monero (GTO)
