== Welcome to Wikicars! ==
Hi there, '''JohnyboyX''', and welcome to '''[[Main Page|Wikicars]]'''! I'm a regular moderator and contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.

There are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers to Wikicars learn the ropes:
:* '''''[[Wikicars:About|About Wikicars]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars FAQ|Wikicars FAQs]]'''''

Here are a few templates on Wikicars that I find particularly helpful when I start a new page:
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Make Template|Make Template]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Template|Model Template]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|Model Review Template]]'''''

Here are a few features of Wikicars that I find particularly helpful:
:* If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page.

:* The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.

:* You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikicars, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.

If you need help, ask me on [[User Talk:Red_marquis|my talk page]].

Again, welcome and thanks for adding to our community!

p.s. If you wish to create a new page for a model of car or a car company, please type either of these down '''<nowiki>{{subst:model}}</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>{{subst:make}}</nowiki>'''. There are also various templates for different types of vehicles, such as '''<nowiki>{{subst:Concept Model}}</nowiki>''' for concept cars; '''<nowiki>{{subst:Racing Model}}</nowiki>''' for general racing vehicles and '''<nowiki>{{subst:Formula One Car}}</nowiki>''' for Formula One vehicles. Note that these codes are all case sensitive. I would advice you to first check out a number of our featured pages to get a feel and idea of the overall product we aim for. This is necessary for the sake of professionalism.

'''Also, please categorize images when you upload them. For instance, you upload an image of a Porsche 911 or anything related, for that matter with Porsche, on the "Summary" box located in the upload page itself, type <nowiki>[[Category:Porsche images]]</nowiki> and so on. All images must be categorized according to their respective marques.'''

If you have any further questions, simply contact me or any other one of the admins.

{{List of {{PAGENAME}} Models}}
'''Adam Opel GmbH''' (commonly known as '''Opel''') is an [[automobile]] manufacturer based in Germany. The company was founded on January 21, 1863 and began making automobiles in 1899. Opel was acquired by [[General Motors]] in 1929 and continues as a subsidiary. Opel is GM's largest European brand and with [[Vauxhall]] forms GM's core European business.

==History==
===Early history===
The company was founded on January 21, 1863 by [[Adam Opel]], and at first made household goods, and was a major maker of sewing machines. The founder died in 1895, with his company the leader in European sewing machines sales and producing over 2,000 bicycles yearly. They made their first cars in 1898 having bought the rights to the Lutzmann and sold them as Opel-Lutzmann. However, two years later, following the dissolution of the partnership, Opel's son signed a licensing agreement with [[Darracq|Automobiles Darracq S.A.]] of France to manufacture vehicles under the brand name "Opel-Darracq." The vehicles were Opel bodies mounted on a Darracq chassis, powered by a 2-cylinder engine.

In 1906 they started to make cars to their own design which they had first shown in 1902 at the Hamburg Motor Show and from 1907 stopped making the Opel-Darracqs.

In 1911 the factory was virtually destroyed by fire and a new one was built with more up to date machinery and the manufacture of sewing machines dropped. Production now consisted of bicycles, cars and motor cycles. By 1913 they were the largest car maker in Germany.

===General Motors takeover===
In March 1929 General Motors bought 80% of the company increasing this to 100% in 1931. The Opel family gained $66 million dollars from the transaction.

==GM Europe==
Many cars sold by General Motors worldwide are Opel designs, including such models as the [[General Motors Corsa|Corsa]], [[General Motors Astra|Astra]], [[General Motors Vectra|Vectra]] and [[General Motors Omega|Omega]]. Opel models are also sold under other GM brand names, such as [[Vauxhall Motors|Vauxhall]] in the UK, [[Holden]] in Australia, and [[Chevrolet]] in Latin America. Its Zafira people carrier was sold in Japan badged as a [[Subaru]] Traviq, while the Omega was briefly sold in the US as the [[Cadillac Catera]]. Other models sold in the U.S., but slightly modified, include the [[Saturn L-series]], [[Chevrolet Malibu]] and [[Chevrolet Cobalt|Cobalt]]. The majority of future Saturn models are expected to be either identical, like the [[Saturn Sky]], or closely based, like the [[Saturn Aura|Aura]], to European Opels. The [[Pontiac LeMans]] (1989-1994), which was the first car produced by [[GM Daewoo|Daewoo]] in South Korea for export to North America, were based on the Opel Kadett (now Astra).

Opels appeared under their own name in the U.S. from 1958 to 1975, when they were sold through [[Buick]] dealers as captive imports. The best-selling Opel models in the US were the 1964-1972 Opel Kadett, the 1971-1975 Opel Manta, and the now-classic 1968-1973 Opel GT. Information on the history of these cars, and sources for parts and technical information for these US Opels is available at www.opelclub.com and www.opelgt.com.
(The name "Opel" was also applied from 1976 to 1980 on vehicles manufactured by Isuzu (similar to the "Isuzu I-mark"), but mechanically those were entirely different cars).

Opel was long General Motors' strongest marque in Japan, with sales peaking at 38,000 in 1996. However, the brand has diminished in the decade since, and will reportedly be withdrawn by the end of 2006 with just 1,800 sales there in 2005.
Opel is the main GM brand name in Europe except in the UK, where GM's other European subsidiary, Vauxhall Motors, still uses its own brand name. Vauxhall's models were completely different designs from those of Opel, until the 1970s. The Opel name largely disappeared from the UK in 1981 after Vauxhall and Opel dealerships were merged, with only the [[Opel Manta|Manta]] and the Monza (the coupe version of the Senator) being sold as Opels, until they were discontinued in 1988 and 1987 respectively.

Vauxhall began adopting Opel's names for its models, with the exception of 'Kadett' which was replaced by Astra, already used by Vauxhall, in 1991. In other [[right hand drive]] markets in Europe like Ireland, Cyprus and Malta, the main GM brand name is now Opel, and for many years, Opel's Ireland brand sponsored the Republic's soccer team, using the slogan 'Ireland's Number One Supporter'. However, many Vauxhall cars, [[grey import|imported second hand]] from the UK, are still sold in Ireland as a [[parallel import]].

Some have suggested that the Vauxhall name should be dropped in the UK in favour of Opel, thereby harmonising GM's marketing strategy across Europe. However, Vauxhall has rejected this, on the grounds that its brand is well known, and fleet buyers, who are its main customer base, insisted that Opel models be rebadged as Vauxhalls. Opel will also provide design and engineering to the American [[Saturn]] marque, similar to the Vauxhall situation in the UK.

The company headquarters are located in Rüsselsheim, and it has plants in Bochum and Eisenach and Kaiserslautern as well as in Belgium, Spain and Poland. Opel cars are also made in [[Vauxhall Motors|Vauxhall]]'s Ellesmere Port plant in the United Kingdom.

In October 2004 employees went on strike for six days due to the threat of 12,000 job losses. The threat was due to the unprofitable European markets because of low customer demand. The strike had a major impact on production.

In 2005 the new Opel Astra Diesel [[hybrid vehicle|Hybrid]] appears.

In 2006, the Azambuja, Portugal factory is shut down and the production of the [[Opel Combo]] is transferred to Zaragoza, Spain. The move prompts a national boycott movement and causes the Portuguese Government to sue General Motors.
