====Thailand====
Since the 1970s, Opel cars were imported along with [[Holden]] cars by Universal Motors Thailand and Asoke Motors. Among the models imported were the [[Opel Rekord]], [[Holden Torana]], and the [[Opel Olympia]]. They were replaced by Phranakorn Yontrakarn (PNA) as the exclusive distributor of Opel cars in Thailand in the mid-1980s. PNA imported the [[Opel Kadett|Kadett]], [[Opel Astra|Astra]], [[Opel Vectra|Vectra]], [[Opel Omega|Omega]], and the [[Opel Calibra|Calibra]] to Thailand. The [[Opel Corsa#Corsa B (S93; 1993)|Corsa B]] was one of the more popular Opel models sold by PNA in the 1990s. In the mid to late 1990s, [[General Motors Thailand]] took over from PNA in the overseeing of sales and distribution of Opel cars in the country, with plans to build an assembly plant in [[Rayong province|Rayong]] to manufacture the [[Opel Zafira|Zafira]] for the domestic and export markets. However, due to the onset of the [[1997 Asian financial crisis|Asian financial crisis]], the Opel brand was phased out from the Thai market in 2000 and was replaced by [[Chevrolet]]. The [[Opel Zafira#Zafira A (1999)|Zafira A]], by then rebadged as a Chevrolet, went on sale in May 2000, to considerable success.
