Opel is General Motors money-losing brand in Europe. The company, Adam Opel AG, has lost money continuously since 1999, and the car buyers are avoiding the brand. For how much longer will this old and traditional brand survive?

Chevy Volt undercuts Opel Ampera on price

I have reported earlier that GM is losing it's patient with Opel and I asked the question how long GM will keep Opel and maybe one option is to replace Opel with Chevrolet. Today it became known that GM will sell the Chevrolet Volt 1000 euro cheaper in Europe than the price set on the Opel Ampera. If GM really wants Opel to succeed, then the general wouldn't undercut the price on the Ampera, or what?

Here's what the Independent writes:
The Chevrolet Volt will go on sale in Europe at a price cheaper than that of its rebadged cousin the Opel Ampera, General Motors has announced.
AllCarsElectric's Antony Ingram said that the most obvious difference is in the styling, with the Volt clearly a Chevrolet but the Ampera looking like no other current Opel and featuring a far more distinctive front.

Apart from some further interior cosmetic alterations, the rest of the car is essentially the same, leading Motorward to comment that it's getting hard to understand Chevrolet's pricing policy for the Volt.

Same old shit, different wrapping and different price tags.
