Re: GM Europe to Invest Euro 9 Billion in Opel

20 new models by 2012! I can't wait to see what they come up with! Probably mostly very small cars would be my guess, but still
By 2012, Opel will have to have replaced:

1. Corsa
2. Meriva
3. Astra
4. Zafira
5. Combo (gosh, they should've AGES ago!)
6. Tigra
7. Vivaro (development work on Renault's side though)
8. Movano (see above)

The Astra, for one, comes in five body styles, all of which can be seen as "models" in GM marketing-speak. So, the 20 "new cars" are perfectly imaginable to me. Ooooh, add hybrid models for just the main lineup and you can easily field half a dozen "new models" in a jiffy!
