Stylist Mike de Boer overvalt leaserijde

media.gm.europe@achtg.de (GM Europe) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 10:38:53 GMT

Bijna de helft van de Nederlandse leaserijders vindt het belangrijk om een hypermoderne auto te hebben, zo blijkt uit onderzoek uitgevoerd door Opel. Maar leaserijders blijken ook echte gewoontedieren. 40% zegt weer voor hetzelfde merk te kiezen als ze een nieuwe auto mogen uitkiezen. Met een ludieke actie wil Opel de Nederlandse leaserijder uit de dagelijkse sleur helpen ontsnappen en laten nadenken over het routinegedrag. Zo stond op drukbezochte plaatsen langs de Nederlandse snelwegen een Insignia klaar om leaserijders te verleiden tot een overstap. Ter plekke kon men direct switchen van de eigen auto naar de kersverse Auto van het Jaar 2009. Maar Opel ging nog verder. Een aantal leaserijders werd na hun proefrit in de Insignia overvallen door de bekende stylist Maik de Boer, die hun switch compleet maakte met een make-over.

media.gm.europe@achtg.de (GM Europe) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:23:10 GMT

Celebrating its Compact Class of Cars
With the launch of the official Kadett Rallye in November 1966, Opel re-enforced its sporting success, introducing the forerunner to a whole number of fast Opel compact models, including the present-day Astra OPC. The list of victories racked up by Kadetts and Astras throughout the years is almost endless. Suffice it to say, our cars are as fast on the road as they are on gravel.

Opel Design and Technology

media.gm.europe@achtg.de (GM Europe) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:20:18 GMT

Celebrating its Compact Class of Cars
Opel was the first to make modern car design popular in Europe, with the establishment of its design center in Rüsselsheim in the 1930s. Since then, Opel has become known for combining well-styled cars with innovative technologies. And, naturally, they are made in Europe.

Opel History

media.gm.europe@achtg.de (GM Europe) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:18:15 GMT

Celebrating its Compact Class of Cars
Since 1936, the Kadett and Astra have consistently pioneered innovation in the compact class family. Like no other series of models, they have shaped the face of Opel and carried important messages from the company to the world. These include expressive design, versatility, dynamic driving and value for money.
