GM is at it again! REBADGING!!!   

This is a Fiat Doblo and so are the engines under the hood. Kind of weird how Fiat and Chrysler are teamed up and all of a sudden we have GM getting their hands on a Fiat Doblo and slapping Opel badges on it! 



GM unpacks Opel Combo van line



Small vans are all the rage overseas, and General Motors has just unveiled its latest European offering, the Opel  Combo. Like the majority of small vans found around the world, the Combo will be offered in short- and long-wheelbase forms ? measuring 108.5 and 122.2 inches, respectively ? and can be had as either a passenger van (with seating for five or seven) or a true cargo-friendly work van.

Obviously, the most attractive feature about the Combo is its cargo area. In short-wheelbase form, the Opel is capable of hauling up to 134.2 cubic feet of stuff, while the long-wheelbase Combo can manage 164.2 cubic feet of cargo.

Under the hood, six engines are available. Of the six, four are (naturally) diesels, with one 1.3-liter, two 1.6-liters and one 2.0-liter powerplant rounding off the choices. From there, a 1.4-liter gasoline engine is offered, as is a 1.4-liter CNG (compressed natural gas) version. All powertrains are available with start/stop for improved fuel economy, as well as a range of five- and six-speed manual transmissions.

The Opel Combo will be available for order in the fall. Follow the jump for GM's press release to scan over the full details.
