cursedshitbox posted:The voltec system was brilliant. The gas generator was about as refined as the iron duke that powers Grumman LLVs. The platform is very...Opel. I liked it. It's heavy down low and corners like a sled. The car was sold to me having everything. It had everything except ACC. Turns out it was 2 months too old to have the harness. I had the car for maybe 6 months and 1500 miles. Camped in it a couple times. 2020 happened and all of a sudden I didn't need 2 motos, a truck, and a car. Its a shame GM killed it off. I have a 2017 I brought brand new in December of 2016. 6 years and 90k miles later I still love it. Only issue I had was the infamous BECM failure back in April of this year. Fixed under warranty thankfully. And it is great for camping! I wired up a Anderson connector directly to the DC-DC converter output terminals (conveniently located in the trunk). Makes attaching an inverter very easy. Great for camping and power outages.

at the bolded part. Pretty much all of the engineering was done in the US, at least the powertrain. I don't remember how much Opel was involved at that point. Usually cursed at, I just wanted to give some of the 
engineers an ounce of credit. We can make good vehicles... when the stars align.
