welcome to oa, quite like the veccy Cs

as for opel/holden,

as far as I know (open to corrections) Opel were the original designers/manufacturers of the Corsa (Barina until the TK), Astras (TR, TS, AH) and the Vectras (the previous vectra (JS?) were however built in Aus for a brief time)

They were then imported by holden and sold with the holden badging, as holdens.

Opel is a German Car Manufacturer owned by GM, Vauxhaul is the UK arm which rebadges opels as Vauxhauls

currently, the Astra is the only Opel that holden is importing anymore. These days they import the Barina from Korea, which is infact a facelifted daewoo kalos.

So yeah, your vectra can be known as either an Opel, Vauxhaul or Holden Vectra

Welcome to OA mate. Holden did a badge swap with opel when they brought it in to Australia.

welcome to OpelAus blingbling :D

Your Veccy sounds like it looks awesome - are the windows tinted???? Black windows on white is hot, plus the black rims against the white would be a great look - would love to see some photos of it :)

Welcome to OA.

How did you hear about the forum? Where are you located in Australia?

Look forward to seeing pictures of your Vectra and perhaps out on a cruise soon.

I was just wondering blingbling - whether your Veccy was one of the special edition OPC-Line versions of the CDXi that Holden brought out especially???
