    Opel Fleet Magazine Mars 2006, 5e année, n° 16 Nouvelle Meriva Opel GT compacte et dynamique la légende renaît RAPPORT QUALITÉ 2006 AUTO BILD : Opel, meilleure marque automobile allemande Selon le rapport qualité 2006 d'Auto Bild, les modèles Opel offrent la meilleure qualité de toutes les marques automobiles allemandes. Opel était également en tête de liste en 2005. L'enquête d'Auto Bild se base sur la fiabilité, la qualité à long terme, le service et la satisfaction clientèle. Ce résultat confirme les résultats positifs d'enquêtes de qualité réalisées précédemment. Dans l'étude J.D. Power sur la qualité des voitures en Allemagne, l'Opel Signum a laissé tous les autres modèles allemands derrière elle. L'Université de Bamberg a identifié Opel comme la marque dont les distributeurs sont le plus satisfaits au niveau de la qualité des modèles. De plus, l'enquête de satisfaction clientèle « Car Check » à Stuttgart a déjà indiqué qu'Opel connaît le taux de défectuosité le plus faible de tous les fabricants européens. Pour les résultats du rapport qualité, Auto Bild se base entre autres sur une enquête représentative réalisée auprès de plus de 24.000 propriétaires de voitures, sur le rapport TÜV et divers résultats de tests d'endurance. OPEL ZAFIRA ET ANTARA GTC ELUES « TOP CARS 2006 » Double succès pour Opel : la nouvelle Zafira et l'Antara GTC (Gran Turismo Crossover) Concept ont été élues « Top Cars 2006 ». Pour la première fois, 140 journalistes automobiles allemands ont désigné les vainqueurs parmi 80 nouvelles voitures, réparties en huit catégories. Avec la nouvelle Zafira lancée au cours de l'été dernier et l'Antara GTC Concept, qui a été présentée l'an passé à la « Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung » (IAA) de Francfort, Opel est la seule marque à avoir empoché la mise dans deux catégories.

For many years family transportation translated into a purely pragmatic form of driving, without any accompanying rewards. All that changed with the introduction of the Buick Terraza. Finally, a family vehicle that is as refined as it is versatile. A vehicle with real style, that is built to an exacting standard of quality. A vehicle employing sophisticated technology, such as the new 240 horsepower 3.9L V6 with variable valve timing on CXL FWD models*, as well as the added safety and security through the standard OnStar System. And incorporating a high level of luxury p.3 represented by the sumptuous interior appointments and the exemplary acoustic insulation provided by QuietTuning. Together, these components help define Terraza more as a Buick than as a conventional family vehicle. With this level of quality, refinement and craftsmanship, it could only be from Buick: the 2006 Terraza. Every Buick is built with exquisite care to exceptionally high standards, achieving a level of quality that ranks Buick among the elite. Every Buick is also equipped with the enhanced safety and security of OnStar, and employs QuietTuning for a supremely quiet ride. And now, for 2006, every Buick is backed by a new comprehensive four-year/80,000 km warranty** that solidifies Buick’s position as one of the world’s premium automakers.

  • Opel GT: Opel Goes Roadster
    January 2007 Opel GT: Opel Goes Roadster • Classic proportions: sleek silhouette, long hood, short overhangs • Archetypal roadster architecture with front-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive • High-tech turbo direct injection and twin A-arms • Roadster fun and performance at affordable price: 264 hp for 30,675 euros Rüsselsheim. The modern definition of an athletic two-seater finds its form in the new Opel GT. As a classic roadster, it has a powerful front-mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, a cockpit with sporty instruments and a tailor-made fabric roof. With a wide stance, sleek silhouette, long, front-hinged hood and short overhangs, the proportions are typical of this class. The Opel GT also brings new charm to this genre with its own unmistakable personality thanks to its exciting shape, which contrasts sharp edges with curved surfaces to create a dynamic look, and its configuration, which enables a refined driving experience, even on long journeys. The GT’ s pricing is also attractive. For 30,675 euros (recommended retail price in Germany incl. VAT), customers get no less than 264 hp from the high-tech turbo engine with gasoline direct injection. Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h takes less than six seconds. The new two-seater carries its legendary name because it continues the tradition of the first Opel GT (1968 – 1973) and, like the original, competes in one of the most exciting vehicle classes. The new Opel GT also showcases the brand’ s passion for dynamic cars, and the conviction that “ Opel was never as young as today” . This is underlined by niche models with a high fun factor, such as the Astra GTC with panorama windshield, the Tigra TwinTop Information concerning specifications and equipment applies to the models offered in iermany.
