In my opinion it is the best Interior that Opel has ever done and I prefer the looks to the e2008.
I prefer the e208 to the Corsa and this to the e2008.
Maybe the Corsa might get the Visor grill soon to make it a little bit less unattractive.

Good looking car. Hope it looks as good in the flesh.

The problems Bjorn Nyland had with charging the e-208 did not fill me with confidence.

Looking good. A bit of welcome competition for that other small crossover, the Hyundai Kona, which is overpriced and underspecced.

Better Than Christ

I despise SUVs and crossovers in general (pointless things), but that has a very nice front end. Kind of retro, without trying too hard.

that's one nice looking car, real pity about the badge though.


*edit* also dislike this new trend of spelling out the model name across the majority of the back end, it ain't a Porsche :pac:

Finally an Opel to get exited about.

It's probably necessary because most new cars seem to have the same back end nowadays.

All depends on whether its using Peugeot running gear. Opels aren't as reliable as they once were and honestly Im terrified as a service manager of them going electric since they cant even get the electrics in their ICE right-imagine the whole car having Opel electrics.
Worked for Fiat for 10 years and honestly Fiats gave less problems.

I like the way the instrument cluster curves towards the driver

No bad looking except the horrible plastic all over it, reminds me of the Kona and Ioniq.

No.

Spelling out the name on the back is to do with the chinese market i believe,skoda and ford doing it.

This is Autoexpress, which probably means it’s a rendering they took from a forum.

No, they were probably even lazier than that and took it from the media section of the official websites.

It is a real car and looks like that.

Maybe they Vauxhallized it for their uk readers, but the Autoexpress pic doesn’t look as real as the one on the Opel site.

Anyone think the dashboard remind you of an old Ascona or Record dash!

Looks great, shame about that rotten Vauxhall badge. Nobody gives a toss about Vauxhall, they should just kill it off.

The uk do, and a lot still think of it as a British badge, they still sell respectable numbers as a result. Changing it to a ‘German’ badge wouldn’t do it any favours.

I have never liked Opel really, or any GM badge as they have generally always been style over substance and rarely as good as their ford counterparts - However, I really hope the new owners can do something to resolver this. I would hate to see them go the same way as many other European brand names

As a brand its got no cachet whatsoever, none. Nobody aspires to own a Vauxhall. They do however aspire to practically all the other German brands so a change to Opel may just surprise you.

Opel as a brand is as desirable as dog****.
The ‘It’s a German’ shtick is pathetic. They started building cars in the late 1800s, and by the end of the 1920s they were a part of GM.

Wow that's a serious upgrade. The current models are as ugly as it gets. That's a big turnaround.

Still prefer to drive an Opel then a Vauxhall. Even the badge looks better.

Id nearly suggested that in the UK Opel is posh. It used be used on high end Poxhauls.

Mind you, Poxhaul and Opel are now both dirt brands. PSA seem to have improved quality but the image is poor.

Makes no sense whatsoever when they're the same car, or even when the Vauxhall comes better spec'd.

When did Opel ever have anything approaching style?

Their marketing team have been pushing the German thing for a good few years.

Technically of course it is/was a German company.

I'd have thought it was American?

Built in Germany and in the case of vauxhall, the UK
