    Rumorpile: PSA Group Puts Opel/Vauxhall Flagship SUV On Hold

      It appears one of Opel/Vauxhall's planned vehicles has been put on hold

    Opel and Vauxhall are currently in the process of working on a new business plan for their new owner, PSA Group. Already, it seems one project has been suspended. 

    Auto Express has learned from sources that plans for a flagship SUV have been shelved for the time being. Possibly named Monza, the model would use the Insignia platform and be around the size of a Ford Edge. It seems PSA Group is putting a freeze on various projects that are related in some form to Opel/Vauxhall's former owner, General Motors. Whether or not the Monza is canned or moved to a platform from PSA Group remains to be seen. One thing is clear, changes are already happening.

    Can't blame them for wanting to use their own resources........

    Totally agree, I would not be surprised to hear most of the current projects that are not 50% or more along in the process to market are delayed as they rework the launches to use PSA platform as they retire GM platforms.

    Yeah, and knowing they are going more toward EV in the future-in house makes much more sense. And gives them some wiggle room too to change their mind .....

    Makes me wonder what was still in the Opel pipeline far enough along that it will still be GM related.

    Also: Insignia platform + Edge sized = GMC Acadia. The C platform (Acadia) is the crossover variant of the E platform (Insignia).

    • @oldshurst442 Last nights protests across the country have clearly stirred up Americans and Hopefully the Murdering ICE agent will face his required day in court for his murderous act. Seems some are willing to get more violent as the protestors in Sacramento California broke down the gate at the ICE center and entered.  
    • Yup. I wanna know though, where is the pushback from americans. You know, the riots...  Because the ONLY thing that can get americans out of this is violence...  If not, well...look at how real deal every day Russians and real deal every day North Koreans cope with their realities and that is the life that americans will have going forward for the next whatever years UNTIL you phoquers fight back... trump is weighing in on not even having mid-term elections...   (because he knows impeachment is heading his way if republicans lose the mid terms...not that will stop him from anything anyway...)  trump was hinting on running for president...again...for a 3rd term in 2028... Im mean...what other hints do you phoquers need to phoquing actually revolt???!!! yet here is another reason.  2 phoquing reasons. Forgetting that he caused an insurrection full of FALSE claims... 1. An actual invasion of a country with a KIDNAPPING (I do not care of this man was also a dictator, its NOT up to the usa to settle this...because the REAL reason is to steal THAT country's oil) 2. AN ACTUAL KILLING of an american CITIZEN...  A MOTHER. A 35 year old MOTHER.   oh....I KNOW how deep this is...  CANADIANS KNOW....how deep this is. It seems the ONLY phoques that do NOT know how deep this is... is americans...   Do I have to post Elbows Up or Gloves Off pics? Do I have to post phoque the usa with pics of burning american flags? Well... PHOQUE THE usa!!!    And in the garbage where the american flag belongs!!!    The ONLY concern you guys NEED right NOW, the ONLY ICE concern you need right now is THIS kinda ICE      
    • I understand your concerns on ICE, but their EVs have been pretty rock solid as a standalone group. As I posted here, the savings and reliability have been impressive. So many coworkers are taking advantage of buying value powered EVs as we have moved into a large return period this year on EVs coming back off lease. I will say this, the latest coworker who has joined the Kia family picked up a 2yr lease return of the EV6 GT, powerful 4 door hatch that was $78K new and with only 18K miles on it he paid out the door $32K for the auto and it still has full warranty. He loves the 18 minutes to 80% fast charging as he is awaiting the install of an L2 charger in his home. Great deals to be had on EVs that can go the distance.
    • Interesting that You Tube is terminating accounts that report real news about what companies are doing including moving out of the U.S. for greener stable places like Canada. Interesting read, the focus is shifting to what the computer can do rather than AI this, AI that as people especially those that have lost their job to an AI bot are fed up with AI. https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/dells-ces-2026-chat-was-the-most-pleasingly-un-ai-briefing-ive-had-in-maybe-5-years/ "we don't actually care about AI PCs"  Because 1.) PCs without a 2000 dollar video card can't do any decent AI 2.) Shuttling all your stuff to cloud to perform AI is creepy AF.  NOBODY wants that. In 10 years, when AI silicon is cheaper then local AI will be great. But right now, your PC can get AI by either being really really expensive, or super duper insecure....
