    Finally, Opel have ditched the 'Wie so Cherman" nonsense.
    That was a rough few years.

    Thanks VW. At least some good came of the emissions messing.

    Where now for Opel? Hope Claudia finds some work.

    They should make everyone in Ireland think they're an Irish company, like they did in the '80s and '90s.

    In my memory Opel were a huge car back then. Everyone knew someone who had a kadette or an ascona. Or owned one themselves.

    Arnold O'Beirne.

    "Here at Opel we're putting the boot in"

    It was that funny accent I remember still.

    Probably the luckiest sponsorship campaign in Irish history.

    It was always a pale imitation of "Vorsprung Durch Technic" anyway.

    Are you referring to Vauxhall or Saxe-Coburg-Gotha?
