I have to say I don't understand it - current Zafira is built off the Astra-J (Delta II) platform with the Astra-K about to launch - current Meriva is built off the old Gamma platform which goes forward under the Mokka/Trax/Encore despite the new Corsa-E retaining the Fiat SCCS platform from the outgoing Corsa-D.

One of Opel's main issues is space production capacity so I don't see any advantage sharing with PSA when Opel already has suitable platforms and engines which will stay in production for other GM models.

Specifically, it means that Opel/Vauxhall will be selling sub-compacts built on three different platforms - Mokka on Gamma, Corsa on SCCS and Meriva on PSA.

So much of the PSA stuff was scrapped.

The formal alliance lasted less than two years but the initial platform-sharing and joint build arrangements stayed in place which is what we're seeing now.

It was the joint Insignia replacement plans that didn't proceed

The future Corsa (one of many changes) was scrap.The Meriva replacement will be made in France by PSA.
