Interim Opel CEO Nick Reilly has been overseeing the German firm for all of six weeks. And over that scant month and a half, he’s conjured the way forward for Opel<\/a> and Vauxhall<\/a> and seems determined to leave nothing undone. Chatting with Auto Motor und Sport<\/em>, Reilly intends to give Opel a little SUV on the Corsa platform, an Opel version of the Mini, a continuation of the Agila and an all-new electric car.<\/p>\n

Opel would also be greater master of its own fate: Opel’s tie with Suzuki<\/a> will continue even with VW’s recent move<\/a>, but other Opels like the next Corsa would be developed in Germany. Such a vision, along with his already avowed hybrid push<\/a>, would keep Opel exceedingly busy over the next five years. If his plans are achieved, it could put them in a very good spot come 2013. But there’s a long way to go before all of that happens — in the short-term GM first has to sort out the funds to keep the company running properly at all.<\/p>\n
