    How sure are you about this? If it is true then hopefully we get a decent deal!

    Wonder what's happened to our Asian connection?

    Terrific effort by Opel if they have got on board.

    In all seriousness, if there was anything there and it was progressing slowly, the nature of the Polis debacle may have had an adverse effect on negotiations.

    i thought Opel in Germany had gone bust...similar to SAAB.

    But there you go....they must have been saved...i know an entire city depends on them similar to Geelong and Ford.

    Great get if true. Releasing a car into the Aus market very soon.

    From wiki:

    Adam Opel AG (Opel) is a German automobile company founded by Adam Opel in 1862.[3] Opel has been building automobiles since 1899, and became an Aktiengesellschaft in 1929. The company is headquartered in Rüsselsheim, Germany. It became a majority-stake subsidiary of the General Motors Corporation in 1929 and has been a wholly owned subsidiary since 1931.

    In 2010, Opel announced that it will invest around €11 billion in the next five years.[4] One billion of that is designated solely for the development of innovative and fuel-saving engines and transmissions.

    The sell the Astra under the Opel brand in USA for a few years...

    I've never seen an Opel car on Australian roads.

    Does this mean they're going to start marketing their vehicles here?

    They already do....it's called a Commodore!!

    It's an interesting sponsor for the club to get given that they don't produce a car here yet and a number of their popular cars in Europe (eg. the Astra) are already sold under the Holden badge.

    Nonetheless, it's money for the club and some more good press which doesn't hurt!

    They have an australian URL:

    http://www.opel-australia.com.au/flash.html

    So possibly plan on having a presence here separate to the Holden branded GM products..

    Great,great news if so! Well done to the Admin for getting three sponsors in a this climate...

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
