would americans want opel(german car) to be introduced to america?

Answer 1

Opel was here during the 60's and early 70's but did not fare all that well. Not much appeal.

Answer 2

Having worked with Opel and GM here in the states, the answer is easy - NO! - the Saturn sedan from 2003-04MY was an Opel design/Opel engineered product (the Catera was not the last Opel engineered product GM used)
..........and it has been a dismal failure in the marketplace. Opels in Europe are very boring, nondescript designs, and the company in general suffers from a reputation problem there as well. Opel has a very difficult time identifying with the tastes and expectations of the American market. I would not expect any venture of theirs in the near-term any time soon.

Answer 3

Several Opel models were in the US in the 60's and 70's (80's?). I bought a used Opel GT a long time ago and was somewhat disappointed by it.

Answer 4

Opel has been in the USA in the past. It has also recently came here as the Cadillac Catera.

Opel is a division of General Motors so cars often get crossed.

Answer 5

Several Opel/Vauxhaul re-badges have been released by Saturn recently. The Sky, Aura, etc are based off of their designs IIRC. A rose by any other name *shrugs*

The problem with Opel releasing directly to the United States is emissions requirements. So they sell the designs to other manufacturers then let them worry about it.

Answer 6

the opel was in america years ago fair car but not much response as far as buying it.if it comes here good german engineering is excellent,it will be a good car.

Answer 7

looking forward to it

Answer 8

wrong section.
