Reads like a typical corporate response, a whole lot of nothing...
When people ask what I'm driving and I say Opel, they say a what?
Their advertising was not the best to say the least, the thing that annoyed me was the lack of product knowledge. Not knowing what cars did and did not have was appalling. Having someone point out how to put your windows up and down rather then telling you the important things was shocking.
I want to know when they will announce a Firm answer for there customers. I have been looking at an Insignia OPC over the weekend. I missed out on it as i was reluctianted due to no hard answer has been given on the Aftersales Support. I dont believe The Dealership line of " Holden Dealers will be taking the responsablity over" There is still a lot to be nutted out over the comming months i believe.
Opel Australia Will still trade in the coming months i think. If the cars on the Dealerships floor plans dont move the will more then likley be sent to Auction. If this option doses happen then im assuming that Selected Holden Dealerships maybe offered to take
stock and move it on at reduced pricing. I cant see Holden Dealerships taking it on at the current RRP . For instance a OPC Insignia sits close to a HSV Clubsport in Price. Holden dealerships are having enough troubles moving the Products they sell in there
product range.
Nor can i see " temp" dealers being apointed as the Current dealer network are bailing out faster then the people on the Titanic !
Its a shame nothing is set in stone. I would really love an OPC Insignia but until they can give me a FIRM SOLID answer then i can not jusitfy spending 50K on a Car with no firm answer of support.
Opel's Lack of commitment in there response indicates to me that they haven't been given any direction with the next step of the process . The best chance Opel has In Australia of survial right now would be for an Importer of the likes Ateco etc to take
the band over or if Holden was to contiune with the product as a stand alone brand but under GMH control.
Opel would need to reduce the amount of Variants sold here in Australia and price the cars at the right end of the scale for there Market.
Regardless of what people here say or think the Astra for example sits in the same Segment as the Cruze. Value for money the Cruze is attractive to buyers because it is built well. packed with Features and is on the market for a reasonable price.
Opel Is packed with Features but for a premuim price. It becomes a no brainer to the average Joe buying his $26000 Cruze for his wife and kids to run arround in against a Higher prices Opel Astra.
I am not Knocking the band in any shape or form. Holden saw where the market was heading about 5 years ago this is why they bailed out of European Built Opel Product and opted for Korean Bult Product. I remember saying this about 5 years ago
that the Quality of the Korean Built Product would improve and the Cruze has impoved over the Viva that the Cruze Replaced. T
I hope for the Opel Customers Sake and for those like myself who are looking to possibly buy an Opel Product before the are gone there is a Definitive Answer.

Am I showing my age by saying I remember when they were 35c?
Hopefully they actually read it, instead of receiving it then tossing it out
Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
The picture of the signage says it all really............................

I actually saw an Insignia Tourer on Joondalup Drive near Bunnings this morning just after 7.00am, they look good.
Probably the last time I will see one on the roads !
Silver wagon? Pretty much the Only Opel I saw on the road here before the OPC's arrived.
And I would really... Really like some Opel Signage for the garage..
