U.S. May Get Opel Ragtop
Automotive News
July 12, 2004
TURIN, Italy -- General Motors may offer a limited run of its Italian-built Opel Astra convertible in the United States, supplier sources say.
Under a plan being considered, 20,000 to 25,000 units would be built for the U.S. market. The convertibles would be produced over a two-year period starting in 2005 by coach builder Carrozzeria Bertone.
Bertone builds the Coupe and Cabriolet versions of the lower medium-class Astra. Bertone produced 22,000 Astras last year, down from 35,000 units in 2002 and 33,000 in 2001.
End of article.
With no name recognitioin in the US for Opel (remember the 1978 Isuzu built Opels?) GM must be planning to sell this under an existing brand/marketing umbrella - if it happens at all. Would this be another brand-shared Saab along the lines of the 9-2X and 9-7?
