"Banned in the U.S.A.!"

As a direct result of this deal, I propose the following bumpersticker:

Opel - Banned in the U.S.A.!

I think this move actually increases the odds of seeing Opel in the USA again. GM was never going to do that. Now, however, after some exclusionary period, the door will be open for Opel to come back.
