Weren't they literally just rebadged Opels, made in Germany?

Are they decent cars? Yes. Ive only driven the base model with the 2 litre as a loan car a few years ago. Well built, decently equipped and go pretty hard. Good value? Probably not.. They werent sold here very long and weren't that popular. Kind of like the Mitsi 380.. Great car, at the wrong time.

I’ve dived into BM’s and Porsche.

I'm awfully temped on a new/Demo M2 or an early G80 M3 (wagon preferred). I've never been much of a BMW/M guy but after a few passenger runs in a Modded G80 (Dump pipe, exhaust, intake, tune) im a little in love.. would mean selling both the Redline and Sorento daily but goddam its tempting... Isle of Man Green tourer for me please...lol..

B D, Sorento easy to let go but I'm sure not so easy the SSV.
I have the luxury of not having to let go of my Ford prides but the day will come.
I have a couple of BM's, MSport optioned versions, enjoyed them alot I can't say let me down.
Had a 330iMsport wagon, fun.
True M's and Competitions, next level brilliant.
I've come awful close going late model M2's - they are the M3 of the ol days imo BUT wow, M3's are still ducks guts luv em.
That green is horn haha.
Like I said we only live once, hard to let go thats our damn heads but you wouldn't regret it once behind the wheel.

They currently seem well priced. Not sure I'd go for the hatch, but the wagons look ok.
Can pick up a 2020 model, with modest k's for under $20k. They mostly seem to be the 2.0L turbo, but I've see the 6's also.

I mean personally, I'd still prefer a Falcon, but to get one under $20k, they're high k, plus 5 years older.
