    Opel is back! Kinda....

    Holden has confirmed that they will be selling the Astra, Insignia and Cascada.

    Astra GTC, Astra OPC, Insignia OPC and Cascada will be joining the ranks. No confirmation of the Zafira, but is rumoured to be joining in as well.

    YAY! Resale recovery!!!
    I'd say whoever bought an OPC on clearout has done well!
    Weird that they're going for VXR badging. Guess because it's cheaper from the already RHD Vauxhalls?

    Nice move and time will tell. Would be better though if they would not get the GTC in but replace that with a 4 door hatch.

    Great news. This may have been in the winds for some time i would say. Maybe back as far as when the call was made about Opel closing.
