Editing Opel (section)

===Oceania===
Many Opel models or models based on Opel architectures have been sold in Australia and New Zealand under the Holden marque, such as the Holden Barina (1994–2005), which were rebadged versions of the Opel Corsa, the [[Holden Astra]], a version of the Opel Astra, and the Captiva 5, a version of the [[Opel Antara]]. In New Zealand, the Opel Kadett and Ascona were sold as niche models by [[Holden New Zealand|General Motors New Zealand]] in the 1980s, while the Opel brand was used on the Opel Vectra until 1994.

For the first time ever, the Opel brand was introduced to Australia on 1 September 2012, including the Corsa, Astra, Astra GTC, and [[Opel Insignia|Insignia]] models.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.heise.de/autos/artikel/Opel-strebt-auf-aussereuropaeische-Wachstumsmaerkte-wie-China-1066499.html |title=German article from heise online reporting that Opel is going to enter outer-european markets |date=25 August 2010 |publisher=Heise.de |access-date=1 October 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=GoAutoMedia |url=http://goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/DBEC2DFD91494CF4CA25779E0015B3D5 |title=Opel 2011 Astra – Holden eyes Opel |publisher=GoAuto |date=14 September 2010 |access-date=1 October 2010 |archive-date=23 October 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101023093815/http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/DBEC2DFD91494CF4CA25779E0015B3D5 |url-status=dead }}</ref> On 2 August 2013, Opel announced it was ending exports to Australia due to poor sales, with only 1,530 vehicles sold in the first ten months.<ref>{{cite web|last=Tschampa|first=Dorothee|title=Opel to Exit Australia After 11-Month Effort Proves Unprofitable|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-09/opel-to-exit-australia-after-11-month-effort-proves-unprofitable.html|work=Bloomberg|access-date=10 August 2013|date=9 August 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/business/companies/opel-abandons-australian-arm-after-less-than-a-year-after-poor-sales/story-fni0d54u-1226690333291|title=Jobs to go as Opel abandons Australia|access-date=19 March 2017}}</ref>
