Opel or return to the US market devaluation classic car race

According to the German auto magazine "Auto Motor und Sport", Klaus, the vice chairman of the Opel Motors Supervision Board. Klaus Franz proposed to push the Opel Classic Corsa to the US market to counterbalance Volkswagen and Fiat Auto in this market segment.

In this new plan, Opel can be re-entered the United States market as early as 2013, when the model or listed Chevrolet, and adopt a new name. It is reported that Opel had exported to the U.S. market under his real name in the 1960s and 1970s. According to Franz, the Opel brand still maintains a good reputation in the eyes of American consumers.

It is understood that American consumers have always preferred pickup trucks and SUVs, but in the past two years, as fuel prices have continued to climb, their acceptance and demand for small cars has become higher. At the end of 2010, Fiat Auto sold its compact car Fiat 500 in the United States.

In addition, Franz responded to the recent report that GM wanted to sell Opel. He said: "There is no evidence that GM intends to sell Opel, but I hope to see GM CEO Exxon personally confirm this."
