Opel is a European division of General Motors. Originally founded nearly a century ago in Germany, the company was acquired by GM in 1929. Since then, the automaker has grown to become GM’s core European business selling cars under such nameplates as Corsa, Astra, Omega and Vectra.
The 2010 Opel Astra is manufactured on GM’s latest Delta II platform, which provides the basis for the upcoming Chevrolet Cruze. The platform is known as the Global Compact Vehicle Architecture, or GCV. The compact gasoline- or diesel-powered hatchback borrows many styling cues from the Opel Insignia, and elevates its interior with a fresh new design.
