You have some beautiful cars there. The Kadett coupe is my favorite! The Fiesta is interesting too. It must be fun to have such a choice of vehicles to drive each day...

Just wondering if there's any connection to the Ford Fiesta:

I agree! Nice collection of Opels and other cars. Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

I'm pretty sure the '95 Fiesta Mamakevf has is a Ford; Mamakevf used some humor in labeling his non-Opel cars "Opel." I learned to drive stick shift in my parents' midnight blue '78 Fiesta Ghia, which was a really fun and fuel-efficient car. Ford imported them to the US from '78-'80, and I hear they're coming back to the US in the next year or so.

I owned one of the previous generation Fiesta's and I don't think they had an "Opel bone in their bodies". The one I had, had major torque steer issues, would grind down front tires so fast it would make your head swim, and really didn't belong on a highway doing highway speed. I won't be quick to reconsider buying one if they bring them back here unless they bring in a totally different beast.

You will be ok, the Fiesta that Ford are bringing to the USA is the totally new model from the ground up I think and it has had great reviews by anyone who has seen it.

Oops! I shouldn't be complementing a non Opel on this site. I will be black listed now.
