A) Opel is better off with GM. We dont know what Magna would have done with Opel. GM owns Vaxuhal in England. And if GM sold Opel to Magna, then Opel would have lost the UK market

B) We cannot say Opel is better off without GM based on Opel Egypt performance

C) Who said that the Octavia is 100% German? it is Czech/German. It is assembled in Czech

vauxhall is based on OPEL ..... so the vauxhall car(if OPEL was sold to MAGNA) will hit the market as OPEL not vauxhall!!!!!!!!!
NO' we can say OPEL is better off wothout GM because the germans said so......not OPEL EGYPT PERFORMANCE

Vauxhall Motors is a British automobile company owned by General Motors. Most current Vauxhall models are right-hand drive derivatives of GM's Opel brand; however, production of left hand vehicles also takes place for export to other parts of Europe and certain marginal markets. There are also several performance vehicles coming from Opel Performance Center (OPC) and Holden/Holden Special Vehicles in Australia. Vauxhall is headquartered in the Griffin House in Luton, United Kingdom.[3]

so say if Magna did infact buy Opel, then they must buy the Vaxuhall brand from GM in order to sell the Opel/Vaxuhall cars in the UK.

Magna agreed and signed a contract for KEEPING vauxhall(if magna bought OPEL) but it isn't necessary to buy VAUXHALL they will buy to reduce the strength on OPEL factories(OPEL WILL PRODUCE LHD & RHD) TOOOO MUCH FOR opel

Just hours before General Motors announced that it wasn't going to sell Opel, GM Europe head Carl-Peter Forster said publicly that Opel would be better off under the control of Magna. Talk about bad timing. Now that GM is keeping Opel, Forster is out as the head of the General's European operations. A couple of familiar names will step in, at least on an interim basis.

Bloomberg reports that GM Vice Chairman and head of Marketing and Communications Bob Lutz is taking over as interim chairman of the Opel supervisory board until a permanent leader can be chosen. The bombastic Lutz has suddenly found himself with increasing responsibility after semi-retiring back in April. Fellow GM exec Nick Reilly will lead the Opel and Vauxhall units until a replacement can be found.

GM CEO Fritz Henderson said in a statement that the hunt is on for a new Opel CEO and that no other management moves were imminent. Henderson went on to say that Opel improved under Forster, which is a real compliment when you consider that Forster replaced Fritz as head of GM Europe back in 2004. Word on the street is that GM could pick a German executive for the Opel post, due mostly to the fact that Germany wasn't very happy about GM's decision to scuttle the sale to Magna. Magna's plan called for fewer layoffs within Germany and more in other European countries.
