Zafira build in th USA???

Detroit might build Opel Zafira for European market
Automotive News Europe
November 5, 2007 -- 13:51 CET

General Motors might build the next generation of the Opel Zafira in the US and export it to Europe.

"Exporting this model to Europe has not been ruled out," Klaus Franz, the head of Opel's workers’ council, said to Automotive News Europe’s sister publication Automobilwoche.

At the moment, GM plans to build a Chevrolet minivan that is only marginally different from the Zafira in Detroit beginning in the second quarter of 2009. There is also a Saturn model, based on the Zafira platform code-named Global Delta MPV7, in planning.

The continued weakness of the US dollar makes producing the Zafira in the US attractive.

"At the moment, it's still an unlikely scenario, but the pressure on the European factories is growing," Franz said.

The Zafira is currently produced in Bochum, Germany, and Gliwice, Poland. GM also exports a variation of the Opel Astra to the US for sale as a Saturn. needed to offer a fuel-efficient model in the US quickly

De Sintra kwam destijds ook uit de US, en iedereen weet al wel hoe het met die kwaliteit gesteld was zeker ...

Again bad quote. The source of this article is the German "Automobilwoche". There is mentioned a Chevrolet-model similar to the Opel Zafira, to be built in the US for the export to Europe. Regarding this model Klaus Franz was quoted saying that it cannot be ruled out that this model will be exported to Europe. Nobody talked about the Opel Zafira in this quote. But sure global platforms will give GM Management a lot of opportunities and we need strong unions and works councils with smart and united strategies to fight back and to safeguard jobs. As we ever have said in Europe we are condemned to real solidarity. Global strategies need a global response. And this is possible - for sure! W.

Dit is in de nabije toekomst inderdaad niet denkbeeldig kameraden. Ik heb dat trouwens al in eerdere commentaren gezegt dat de enige oplossing voor ons als werkende mensen een wereldvakbond is tegenover de wereldwijde strategie van GM !
Mkg,
