What models will disappear from Opel's gamma?

At the end of 2019, the German manufacturer will ban the sale of models Adam, Karl, and Cascada, since they do not adapt to Opel's strategy, which means that chance and productivity priority are given to models sold into large groups.

All three models are specific in their own way. Opel Adam, named after the founder of this German company, which was introduced in 2012, does not justify expectations and does not impose itself as a serious competitor Five hundred or MINI.

On the other hand, the Karl model had no Lifestyle claims, but it had to fill the gap in the small segment of the city's cars, with a high - performance and five - door practice.

Carl was launched in late 2014 instead of Agila on the run, and is produced in South Korea, making it initially a little more expensive than competition on the European market, and perhaps that was the reason for his relative failure.

In addition, the car ran as long as Opel's owner was General Motors. While the company purchased the PSA, GM models are gradually being removed and the new Opel, based on the PSA mechanical platform, will be replaced. Besides the standard version, customers are offered a version of cross-version Carl Rocks.

Carl's successor has not yet been announced, while the last of three models to be closed by the end of next year is Cascada 2013, developed in GM mechanics.

The removal of this vehicle from the market is not so surprising, since the Caberolels have poor sales and Opel will focus on the development and production of large vehicles in the coming period.

Otherwise, these three models were sold in Great Britain under the mark of Vaujall and after PSA, along with Opel last year, bought Vaudal, the same fate awaits sister cars in continental Europe.
