Takeovers the Path to Golden Returns: Sascha Opel
2012-02-15 22:00:00 The Gold Report: It’s been four years since you told The Gold Report that gold was beginning the process of re-establishing itself as money. Where are we in that process now? Sascha Opel: We are in the middle of this process. Many people and even central banks have added gold to their portfolios or balance sheets as they realized that no paper currency is 100% safe anymore. The Greek haircut has made it clear to investors that even European government bonds are not safe havens. The money went into German and U.S. bonds. But what happens in the next few years with growing debt in these countries? For me, what is still most important is unlike bank, corporate . . . → Read More: Takeovers the Path to Golden Returns: Sascha Opel

Spied: 2011 Opel Corsa SUV
2009-03-12 16:40:00 It looks like the Corsa is rising to the occasion! These are the best spy shots yet of the Luton-based firm's new small 4x4, which we've snapped undergoing testing in the Arctic Circle.Based on the Corsa’s underpinnings, but with a jacked-up ride height and a four-wheel drive system, the new model will go into battle with the forthcoming MINI Crossman and Skoda's recently-unveiled Yeti in the emerging supermini SUV segment. And as you can see from the wheelbase on this Meriva-based prototype the new model will be roughly the same size as the supemini MPV.Entering a totally new market for Vauxhall, the Corsa SUV will be powered by a wide range of small capacity turbocharged petrol and diesel engines and just like the Yeti, will be available in both front-wheel drive and 4x4 form.Expect the styling to feature muscular wheelarches, to accommodate a widened track and traditional SUV cues such as roof rails and plastic protective bumpers for a more rugged appearance. Although that c...

Hot News: GM Would Sell Opel to Save it
2009-02-28 13:24:00 General Motors is willing to give up as much 50 per cent of its stake in Opel if it helps its subsidiary to agree a rescue deal with the German government.Opel needs €3.3bn (£2.9bn) in aid and loans to stay in business, according to company boss Carl-Peter Forster. Reports say that Opel is talking to the Spanish and UK governments, as well as the German Federal government, about aid.Opel’s management has concluded that it needs to become semi-detached from GM in order to convince EU governments to underwrite bailout loans.GM has owned Opel since 1929 but reports suggest that if the firm does become semi-independent, it may have to start paying license fees to GM for the use of the new Epsilon 2 and Delta platforms, as well as engine technology.Opel says it can begin repaying the loans by 2014, after returning to profitability in 2011. The company cannot survive without funds from owner General Motors, but these have come to a halt as the US giant struggles to stay solvent. Amer...

Hot News: German Government to Help Opel
2009-02-20 16:18:00 Contrary to their counterparts in Sweden, German government officials from various states are interested in helping their homeland hero, Opel -- one of GM's major European divisions -- through these tough financial times. Like its parent company, Opel has suffered dearly in vehicle sales and overall profit numbers. Recent news emanating from government and GM meetings has indicated none of the brand's four German plants will get closed, and if need be, the states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Thuringia will consider offering financial support, per their terms in a vast restructuring plan.North Rhine-Westphalia leaders stated in an interview with Reuters that aid will only go Opel's way if the company adheres to its stipulations -- much the same way Congress is doing with GM as we speak. An example of some terms include the automaker keeping four plants (as aforementioned) as well as all patents and branding rights, should it be turned independent. Thuringia state officials are pr...

Unofficial Picture: Opel/Vauxhall Ampera Concept
2009-02-20 01:31:00 The Vauxhall/Opel Ampera has been caught undisguised ahead of its public unveil next week. These spy pictures show the European version of the Chevrolet Volt at a GM facility in Germany.The new Vauxhall Ampera, which will be built in Europe and could be made at the Ellesmere Port factory, will go on sale in the second half of 2011.Because the Ampera is based on GM’s new Delta platform, used in the Chevrolet Cruze and the next Astra, GM has said it can be built at any factory equipped to build Delta cars. However, there’s no guarantee Ellesmere Port will get the next Astra.The front of the Vauxhall Ampera gets big slot intakes inspired by the GTC concept that previewed the Insignia, and the grille is a smooth, blanked-off fitting designed to improve airflow over the car.Although it is essentially the same car as the Volt, but with a new front and rear end, redesigning the Ampera would have been significantly harder for the GM Europe team due to the need to match the Volt’s very...

Opel builds 10 millionth Astra
2008-05-15 01:35:00 Opel builds 10 millionth Astra For those of us living on this side of the Atlantic, we've only had a few months with the Saturn Astra. But for those who live in Europe, the Astra nameplate has been around for nearly 17 years. And after those 17 years of production, Opel has reached a major milestone as it has produced its 10 millionth Astra. The first Opel Astra rolled of the assembly line in Bochum, Germany in 1991, but the hatchback is now produced in countries all across the world — including Belgium, the UK, Poland, Russia, the Ukraine and Brazil. General Motors introduced the Astra to the U.S. for the 2008 model year. Lucky number 10,000,000 was a Silver Lightning 5-door 1.7 CDTI, equipped with a few special features to commemorate the milestone. The UK is the Astra's largest market — with 119,082 buyers opting for the hatchback last year — followed by Germany with 74,226 sales in 2007 and Italy with 43,128. The most popular model in Europe is...

GM to move Opel upscale, Saturn next?
2008-05-13 21:19:00 GM to move Opel upscale, Saturn next? General Motors has announced that it will be moving its Opel brand upscale. The move is intended to set the Opel brand apart from the competition and also further differentiate the marque from GM's entry-level Chevrolet brand. Although the Opel brand is not sold in the U.S., several Saturn models sold here are based on Opels, leading us to wonder if GM will be making a similar move with Saturn. "Opel and Chevrolet will be bookends with a clear position for both," GM Europe President Carl-Peter Forster told Automotive News. "Over time, we will emphasize Opel's German heritage, engineering and design." The shift to a premium marque will most heavily focus on on improved designs and engineering, but will also include a 1 to 3 percent price hike to really get the point across. The shift will begin with the 2009 Opel Insignia, which will eventually be brought to the U.S. as the Saturn Aura. Since so many Opel and Satu...

GM already working on second E-Flex vehicle for Opel (and Saturn?)
2008-05-04 22:29:00 Following his speech to the Commonwealth Club a few days ago, GM CEO Rick Wagoner apparently told reporters that a second E-Flex platform vehicle was also under development at the company's Warren MI technical center alongside the Chevy Volt. This second ER-EV is destined for the Opel (and presumably Saturn) brand. Following the debut of the Volt in January 2007, GM has shown two other E-Flex concepts, the Opel/Saturn Flextreme and the Cadillac Provoq. The Provoq is expected to make the production transition in 2009 as a conventionally-powered crossover.The Flextreme, however, carries some of the design language of the new Opel Insignia that was recently revealed. The significantly more aerodynamic Flextreme also carries the hatchback/wagon type body shape that is more popular in Europe. An Opel-badged model would likely have an appearance similar to the Flextreme but with more conventional style body openings and without the pair of Segways in the back. It's unknown at this point...
