They came with some fanfare and some great vehicles … they built a network of 20 dedicated dealerships – they sold 541 vehicles in 2012 and a further 989 vehicles up to the end of June this year … and now Opel is folding up their tents and going home.
It seems that Opel can’t bring their cars into the country at a price point to make their business economically viable … in other words they’re just not competitive enough to stay here … so they’re off.
Well maybe not quite … there is a hint that some of the Opel range may be available with a Holden badge but we’ve seen Holden badged Opels come and go over the years so I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Blink and you’ll miss them.
Goodbye Opel?
