Hi all... a quick note to introduce myself, my name is Melanie Kerin and I am the Public Relations and Events Manager with Opel Australia. We're getting closer and closer to our launch in September and I look forward to sharing with you all the news and updates in the lead up to the brand's big launch in Australia.
Welcome to OpelAus Melanie.
As you can see, we are all eagerly awaiting the launch of Opel in Australia.
We look forward to any news and updates you have and would love to help out in any way we can with the launch.

Welcome to the site Melanie. Looking forward to the launch of the Opel brand in Australia and enjoying their new offers.
Welcome to the forum Melanie.
As said we are all very excited about Opel's launch in Australia.
Looking forward to product updates as the launch date gets closer and closer.

Hi Melanie.
Welcome to OpelAus forums!
As mentioned above. I am very much looking forward to hearing more about the launch, and more than happy to assist with anything that the Opel team may need.
Regards

Hi Melanie, welcome to the site.
I am very much looking forward to the introduction of the Opel brand under their own banner. I worked in a holden dealership in 02 and 03 and my ex work colleagues who are still in the industry are excited about the introduction also.
Like the other have said, happy to offer my services where possible.

Welcome Melanie,
As said there are plenty of Australians already flying the Opel flag and waiting for the brand to land officially.
Cheers

Welcome to OA
Welcome :thumbs:
Welcome to the forums Melanie.
We are all looking forward to Opel cars being available for sale in Australia again, and under their own name.
Thanks for the warm welcome! It's great to hear that the excitement is out there for our upcoming launch.
Along with posting the latest news as it is released here on the forum we are also in the final stages for our Opel Australia twitter and Facebook pages for those on the social scene.
Welcome to opelaus!
Welcome to OA! Can't wait for this, can't believe it's finally happening :)
Welcome Melanie. Looking forward to the brand launching here and checking out Opel's latest line up.
Welcome Melanie/Opel Australia :)
If you have any job openings in Perth for aftersales work or apprenticeships with Opel. Please don't hesitate to contact me, as I would love to represent Opel. :)
Also I'm not sure if there will be any presence of new Opels in Perth in July but there is a "German Car Day" being run then and it would be great if Opel could put on a display of some of their new lineup along side us for the public to see.
Thanks
Brenton
Welcome Melanie! Looking forward to the launch! Can't wait to see more Opel's out there!
Hi Melanie!
Can't wait to see them getting around Brisbane and where your showroom will be as well. Yay it's finally happening!!
😃
Welcome to Opelaus. I want a Corsa VXR :-)
Welcome to the Forum. We're all VERY eager to see more Opels on the road.
As Brenton mentioned. Perths German car day would be a great opportunity to reach out and expand public knowledge of Opels Impending arrival. I seem to remember in previous years Mercedes showcased a few new vehicles they included in their Australian showrooms.
Can't wait for more information!
Chris.
Welcome Melanie. As you might have read on the site, we've been waiting (and speculating) for a while now and some even have postponed buying a new car ! Look forward to more news. :smile5:
Welcome to you Melanie and the team from Opel Australia. Its been an anxious wait for the brand to come to Australia and i'm very excited to see the performance range of Opel (VXR/OPC). Hoping we all get invited to the intial launch for the Opel range in the coming months.
Cheers Steve.
Welcome! Can't wait to see the new Opel products!
Welcome welcome!
Welcome Opel Australia. I look forward to seeing the Opel range. It's good GM will again have a range of performance hatches to take on Ford.
+1.
Welcome.
Keen to see the OPC range available here !
should round up a few VXR's and get pics for their social networks sites :-)
Melanie, are you allowed to share with us which dealers will be selling Opel ?
I was thinking on launch day should arrange a meet with one of each model and variant (as much as possible) to show opel has been around for a while and not really a new brand to aus. Corsa b/c astra f/g/h/vxr vectra b/c calibra zafira(lol) tigra.Quote:

It was more the fact that you would take your Opel to your local Holden dealer for a simple service and unless you spoke to the "Opel guy" there, the rest of the service team would look at you and your car like you just landed from another planet because it didn't have a Buick 3800 in it.Quote:

Sure there will be many more opels hitting the streets in the near future
I'd like to give a warm welcome to Mel:yesnod:
