Ympyrä sulkeutuu:
"The 1924 Opel 4/12PS was a copy of the French Citroën 5CV. In contrast to the
The Citroën 5CV, it was painted in yellow, the Opel was green. That was the reason for its nickname
"Laubfrosch" (~tree frog) and the German proverb "Dasselbe in Grün" ("The same in green" which means
something is nearly the same despite of a little unimportant detail).
The Opel 4/12PS was the first Opel built at a assembly line, and the first mass production Opel."
"A German court responded to a law suit by Citroën for plagiarism by stating the green color of the Opel clearly distinguished it from the bright yellow cars of the Citroën."
Ei mitään uutta siis länsirintamalta.
Kuhina talousvaikeuksista kärsivän Opelin ympärillä kiihtyy. Viimeisin veto on se, että yhtiö tarjoutuu valmistamaan sekä Citroenin C5-mallistoa että mahdollisesti jotakin Chevroletin versiota.
