You are absolutely right Greg! GM bought Opel back in 1929 and sold it to PSA in 2017. Quick jump to "inflation calculator" reveals interesting fact - GM paid for Opel $33 million in 1929 which in today's money is $558 million. GM sold...

When you said that Opel sold well in Europe, that's mainly because it's from Germany originally (Founded by Adam Opel in 18xx if my memory is correct). Then bought by GM when they were in financial distress and then sold to Stellantis that ...
