GM Launches 2007 Opel GT Roadster

GM in Europe today announced the new 2007 Opel GT, a two-seater roadster with a powerful front-mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, a cockpit with sporty instruments and a tailor-made fabric roof. The Opel GT is GM’s attempt to release a popular roadster model for the European market based on the Pontaic Solstice and the Saturn Sky. The 2007 Opel GT has a 2.2-liter direct injection turbocharged engine that produces 264 horsepower giving the roadster the ability to do 0-60 mph in just 5.7 seconds.

The Opel roadster will be built at the Wilmington/Delaware plant in the USA, where the Pontaic Solstice and the Saturn Sky are also built. The first Opel GTs will be on the road in March 2007 and dealerships have been accepting orders since summer 2006. Check out the images and press release below.

Saturn sky?
Why doesn't GM just kill the Saturn brand and bring Opel here instead?

they wont because of the amount it would cost to market a new brand. Everyone already knows teh Saturn name and as its not the most popular brand out there, it doesnt have a bad reputation

It's even better-looking than the Sky... same exact thing, but with a nicer bodykit.

Why? Why not us?
