Nice article. It doesn't bash the Opels as much as typical articles do. There are a few inaccuracies though, such as the "60's era Kadett C". It's a shame to hear the 2011 Astra will be built in Mexico.

I am surprised they didn't mention the Sky/GT at all.
It is nice they mentioned not to "water down" the cars. They should have pointed out that the Catera WAS watered down.
Thanks for sharing.

Can't get more mainstream coverage than NYT. I liked the gallery too. Too bad they didn't have a big pic of the Manta in the slide show. Pretty good for them in any case.
