My logic for including Ascons/Ascona Sportswagons is that they are really the same cars as the Mantas and are built with the same engines suspensons, interiors, dashes, DNA etc.
Where as the Kadetts aren't and share DNA with GT's. Some people have even bolted the front fenders, grills and hoods off of Mantas onto their Asconas and probably visa versa.

Plus many of the Manta/Ascona owners own both and have the knowledge base a group would need. I personally know them pretty well but am a Kadett/GT and other Opel ignoramus. Jmo.
