Opel is adding a Color Edition Pack to its 2014 model year Vivaro van range. The special design package includes the following items to make for a sleek and eye-catching presence that allows it to stand out from the competition:
- Gloss black alloy wheels
- Dark tinted side and rear windows
- Tinted headlamp units and color-coded bumpers
Besides adding a sinister appearance, the tinted and heat-absorbing glazing has a practical benefit, since it weakens the effects of direct solar radiation to decrease the temperature of the cabin, especially in the summer.
Priced from 355 euros (including VAT in Germany) depending on the equipment version, the Color Edition Pack is available for the Vivaro Combi, Tour and Life variants, along with the panel van trim. According to Opel, the package offers a savings of up to 40 percent compared to the cost of purchasing the items individually, and we imagine the identical Vauxhall Vivaro will be available with the same package in the U.K. market.
Now, what about a 21st-century replacement of the staid (yet well-selling) Chevy Express/GMC Savana vans for the North American market?

Is GM considering making these into luxury 9 seater MPV’s. GM, Ford, VW & Mercedes all seem determined to make the ultimate luxury people mover selling to airports, taxi people, hire firms, hotels & the odd randy family unable to fit into a 7 seater.
