    Carmaniac is just a name. I won't shoot you for sport.

    Reprasing the question and adding a second…

    Why don't I see any Opel's on the road?

    to answer that question you should answer this one…

    How much does each model cost???

    Because they aren't sold in the USA, and even if they were they'd be Chevrolets.

    FWIW the Chevrolet Aveo is a Daewoo Kelisa, rebadged for the USA
    The Cobalt is a Vauxhall/Opel Astra, but made more ugly for the USA
    And I'm pretty sure the Malibu is based on the Vauxhall/Opel Vectra/Signum
    Thanks for all the fish

    Why should I?

    Why can no one ever find these things out for themselves?

    I am not going to waste my time looking up the prices of Opels just for your sake

    www.google.com -> "Opel" -> opel.com or whatever -> look at the prices
    www.xe.com if you want to convert from euros to $
    Thanks for all the fish

    that's well said... here in europe, it's hard to get some ride and not getting frustrated about some opel astra 1.6 (somehow always a 1.6) blocking your way and not planning to go aside on the highways.

    Mustang quickly delete the vauxhalls, toyotas and nissans you posted, before you get embarrased.
