Two of the "Top Car" awards for 2006 went to Opel models.
The new Zafira MPV and Antara (Gran Turismo Crossover) concept car came out tops in their respective categories, out of a total of 80 cars. They were given the thumbs-up by 140 motor journalists. Head of Opel European marketing, Alain Visser, commented that the awards were a testament to Opel's "strengths in developing versatile, innovative cars." The Zafira is selling well in Germany, sales for 2005 having overtaken the previous year's sales by well over 100%. The Antara should enter the market this year. |
