Over the rank of the best in Europe, as always, were very severe struggle. Among the applicants, and the sixth generation of folk «Golf», and already successful make noise in the Old World pretty Fiesta, and once again more than a serious candidate from the Italians from Alfa Romeo - MiTo. But the best was the Opel.

But the Germans have long been won this contest. The latter, who was able to climb to the summit, a Volkswagen Golf - in the distant 1993. Opel succeeded in what had been unable to spodobitsya «big German trio». How?
Opel zavoevyval rank of the best in 1985 and 1987.

Then the winners were the never-dying works Kadett and Omega. Then, the company experienced not the best of times, and only towards the Millennium affairs has gradually went up the hill. As you can see, is now saying «any German car ever will Opelem» is not valid.

As a result, Opel Insignia and the Ford Fiesta ahead of c great margin. Fiesta could win, too, is not a coincidence. Indeed, already at full selling soplatformennik Mazda 2 is good in all respects. But justice prevailed, and the annual Grand Prix of Europe by a total of one point took the Opel Insignia.
