Shortly after GM’s CEO Dan Akerson is doing pretty explicitly had spoken about the undesirable overlap between Opel and Chevrolet in Europe, there are nails with heads beaten: from 2016 it will have Opel and Vauxhall, only the rich in Europe.

GM describes it as follows: “Chevrolet to focus on iconic products in Europe”. In other words: the Corvette we can keep, but all the Sparks, Aveo’s, and how that Korean volumedingen also, but may be called to go there, and may their lives outside Europe to continue. After Daihatsu, this is the following retreat of the European market.

Chevrolet we know in addition to the Corvette as said of a lot of rebadge models, but the brand is worldwide huge. With 5 million sales is GM’s largest brand, and that will also remain, only there is in Europe no market for.

Well gives the management, that Chevy is a ‘flow ‘ presence’ will keep in Russia and its former sattelietstaten, but exactly how this takes form, we must still see.

Furthermore, the GM plan in Europe, more and more emphasis on Cadillac. For years there of the brand anywhere in europe at most a handful of cars sold, we are very curious about the attempt to brand themselves now in Europe to nest. With the ATS wants to the, as yet, well not really, rafts…

And what’s going on with the current clients happen? Chevrolet will work closely with its dealer network in Western and Eastern Europe to define future steps while ensuring it can honor obligations to existing customers in the coming years. OK…you Trax or other rebadge, you can of course also at the Opel dealer langsbrengen, for the rest will have found a solution.
