Opel will add a high-end car that will be positioned at the top of its current lineup but below models from General Motors siblings Saab and Cadillac.
The new car will be launched before 2010, Carl-Peter Forster, GM Europe's president, told the Automotive News Europe Congress here.
GM Europe sources say the car likely will be a crossover or "multi-activity vehicle." They weren't more specific about what that means. Most crossovers being built by automakers combine characteristics of a minivan, SUV and station wagon.
