Opel cars are amazing. I have a pure stock 1998 Astra F, after having the first few maintenance service, it never required any major work at all for 20 years except a few the normal oil and coolant change. Never once it has broken down and often it reaches its factory top speed.
Opel Kadett E was Car of the Year for 1985, not 1984. As for MPVs, Sintra was indeed the first such model for Opel, but went almost unnoticed. The first really important and highly successful Opel MPV was the Zafira in 1999 and it´s not mentioned in the video.
Great and iconic germand brand. I hope Stellantis group, didn't end up destroying it... :( I'm a proud owner of an Insignia 2.0 CDTI ST and it's a great and comfortable car. Its aerodynamics (wow! I've read this several times) counteract its high weight, achieving good performance and very low fuel consumption. 175,000 km and only one breakdown (and not a serious one) in almost 10 years.
My older brother used to own a 1989 4 door Opel Kadett, my younger brother has an Opel Adam and my dad recently bought his second 1989 Opel Kadett 4 door.
It may not have been a prominent marque under its name but numerous models designed engineered and even manufactured under other names have been widely available and sold well throughout Asia.
Yo el segundo Opel que tengo primero fue un corsa 1,3 GT muy bueno, y ahora Astra G 1,7 TD 68cv más de 25 años no he cambiado aún ni pastillas de freno ni discos ni amortiguadores ni embrague y en marcha va fino sin ruidos ni vibraciones para los años que tiene mejor que un Volkswagen para mí y más barato
The Calibra had a drag of 0.26 and not 0.29 as you're mentioning in the video. The 1st gen Omega had a drag of 0.28 respectively, but it was launched two years prior to the Calibra. GM had a long story of aerodynamically shaped vehicles starting in a mass production with the 1982 Firebird Trans Am. Having for that model a drag coefficient of 0.30 back in 1982, it was the most aerodynamically car GM had ever produced at the time.
Wrong, Opel had more experience than General Motos and PSA, but General Motor used everything was good at Opel sold them when they couldn't make profits on them
Opel produced great cars for years, until is has been taken by PSA and stellantis. Now it produces poor and unreliable rebranded peugeots. Sad end of such great history and heritage...
Until recently Opel didn't produce cars, but bought them in from Fiat, Renault, Suzuki, Daewoo and others. Now under Stellantis Opels aren't bought in anymore.
Only on a few models the majority of cars ( Corsa, Astra, Vectra and Omega )was build by Opel/Vauxhall in Germany and the UK . Those of the shelf cars from other continents is called badge enginering and GM had joint ventures with Deawoo, Suzuki ,Renault (commercial vehicels) Fiat (engines) at that time. (Isuzu Rodeo => Frontera , Renault Trafic => Vivaro, Suzuki Wagon R/Splash => Agila , Deawoo build cars were at first sold under the Daewoo name and later Chevrolet name and sold in Opel/Vauxhall dealerships. Deawoo went bankrupt due to coruption and the car factories in Korea were allowcated to GM, Suzuki stocks were sold by GM, the joint venture with Renault wasn't renewed when when PSA took over Opel/Vauxhall Fiat is now a part of Stellantis and uses PSA engines.

That's right! Are you a connoisseur of Opel cars?
nice overview. Abit more attention to Corsa would have been welcome. Do not forget Kapitän and Signum. And the Vauxhal brand.
Thanks glad you liked it!
Opel number one car brand in Easter Europe
Opel Astra G
Best car ever
Das Auto.
The ascona looks like a mini Nova.

Personally haven't owned the peugeot brand, well opel was good
Pity you mispronounced Adam Opel. Anglophones shouldn't Anglicise names; it is disrespect towards the global audience.
Until recently Opel didn't produce cars, but bought them in from Fiat, Renault, Suzuki, Daewoo and others. Now under Stellantis Opels aren't bought in anymore.
The cars that should be designed by Opel debuted as Saturns, so who really designed them?
I thought the VC Holden Commadore from the early 80's where originally rebadged Opel's

I am 63. My late grandpa who died almost fifty years ago, owned a few Opels, from WWII era to his 1963 Rekord 1700.
