Saw a billboard today for the new Astra GTC on the M5 motorway . Very impressed with the level of marketing surrounding the Opel range prior to Launch next month

Drove past the site where Opel Barbagallo is meant to be. Still no signage or even any sign Opel is going in there.

Can't see Perth having either opel showrooms ready at launch.

Same as adelaide one. No signage on the dealership, or even hints at opel coming other than the one billboard on south road/grange road intersection. Doesnt look as though there's much room to squeeze another manufacturer in that site either. There's BMW, mini, BMW bikes and husquarana bikes all on the one corner.

Mini I would imagine are moving back in with BMW or the BMW bikes maybe?
I just want September to hurry up and get here

The berwick one is the same. No signage at all and no hint they are even coming. I think we know which Melbourne dealership we will be going to though ;)

Adelaide Opel has some stuff in the windows.
It's in hindley street were the bikes are. I think they will probably end up using the mini section as the show room

Swung past Buswood opel this evening after work. Still has old BMW's sitting in it. Good looking Blue M coupe was in there though...

Looks like they are almost done painting the interior. Yellow and a dark blue/greyish colour. Will check back next week!

Can't see Perth having either opel showrooms ready at launch.

Looks like John Gardiner has pulled the pin on Renault and Joe Crisafio is moving to the old Henley site.... I reckon Opel is going to open on the KIA site next to Barbagello's main showroom.

Let's see what happens
