GM to sell Opel Down Under in 2012 (AU)

From 2012, Opel will be selling its cars in Australia. This will be the brands next step in its export offensive.

While the full model line-up will be announced near to its production date, we expect the Corsa, Astra, and Insignia to be offered.

CEO, Nick Reilly said in Detroit: “This launch is an important part of our international expansion strategy. With its growing demand for German design and technology, the Australian car market is an excellent opportunity for Opel. Australian drivers have a strong affinity with Opel vehicles.”

Alongside Australia, Israel and Chile are on the official launch list too. The Middle East, Argentina and a growth in South Africa and China are on the cards.
