But Opel is now owned by Peugeot, not GM, and they are paying GM for the rights to build them. That will not last beyond the current models.
Future Opels will be Peugeots/Citroens in drag, and neither of these companies have been successful in Australia in the past due to weird designs and build quality.
So their brands are on the nose here, but probably less so than the Holden lion at present.
