Opel has been a GM mark since 1931, apart from brief government control during the Nazi era. GM initially invested in Opel in 1929, buying 80%, and bought the rest in 1931. Several Opel designs have made it over here under different names, starting with the Cadillac Catera/Saturn L100.
The Sky Red Line is identical to the Opel GT(Argh, forgot the Speedster's the earlier model, with the mid engine not the current model) . The only differences are the badges, Opel doesn't sell the base model. Daewoo also sells this car as the G2X. The Solstice is based on the same platform (the Kappa) but with completely different sheetmetal and different suspension and options (The Solstice is actually the faster vehicle due to better suspension tuning). -Adam On 1/7/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The Sky's interesting, as it's a straight rebadge of the Opel > > Speedster (Same styling and drivetrain) unlike the fairly extensively > > modified Solstice (which is based on the Speedster, but not > > identical). > > Wait, you mean the Sky and Solstice aren't the exact same rebadged car? > > Are you certain?
