Like E.T., Opel went home years ago.Haven't seen an Opel for a long time and didn't know they were still made. ...
Commonly available in Europe, just not here, mostly. Thank to GM's "expertise" in badge engineering, some Opels have snuck over here under the radar. The Cadillac Catera was an Opel Omega and the current Buick Regal is an Opel Insignia.
Opels were brought over to Buick dealers in bland commuter trim. In Europe, where you could get the bits to properly prep them, they did rater well....We would regularly trounce them at autocross events, even in an MGB. They just seemed awkward to me.
Man, I loved my '74 Manta. Looked exactly like the one in the article. Regretted the heck out of letting it go but I had no place to keep it. Years later I tried to get it back but the guy we sold it to had passed it on to some guy who took it out of state.
