This version of the Kadett started in 1973 and was produced until 1979, but the 1975 Opel Kadett City (based on the Chevette) didn’t appear until August of that year. (image source: John Lloyd)

The Opel GTC Paris will be shown for the first time at the Mondial de l’Automobile 2010 in Paris on October 2–17. This is easily one of the most elegant vehicles presented to the public in recent memory and certainly one of the most beautiful hatchbacks, with more info to be found on Cartype.
