Rumors have now begun stirring up regarding the resurrection of yet another shelved, yet beloved, Opel name. Coming from a German automotive news outlet, the latest remarks from soon-to-be GM Europe President Karl-Friedrich Stracke saying that a new take on the classic Opel Manta is easy to imagine has left several news sources speculating that such a vehicle is indeed on the way, someday.
Years back, the Manta was a spirited rear-wheel-drive coupe with some roots in rally racing. If the powers that be bring such a vehicle to market, enthusiasts can only hope that they stick to that tradition, and one way they could do it would be to utilize the upcoming Alpha platform.

Cool Dude… Opel needs a unique rear driven ride.
On the Alpha platform maybe? to spread the cost of development.
