The notation in the fifth paragraph that the Kadett-D was GM's first front-drive model in 1979 is clearly incorrect. That was the Oldsmobile Toronado in 1966. Maybe the author meant to say Opel's first, or GM's first in Europe? But I don't know enough about the European models to edit in a correction. RivGuySC 18:07, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

i find that these pages are quite hard to define between the vauxhall, opel and holden varients of the cars because of the way the the cars were badged as diffrent names e.g. the couple of opel kadett models were badged as the vauxhall astra but opel then bought out an opel astra slightly later so i feel that the pages should be seperated into diffrent sections for vauxhalls, opels and holdens - sorry if you can't understand i tend to ramble a bit!


[edit] Naming

I noticed that somewone changed the naming in the boxes from Kadett A,B,C,D,E to mk1,mk2 etc. without stating the reason for this. Why? The kadetts were never called mk1,2 etc or have i missed something? --Dahlis 23:13, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

It is incorrect to say that the Opel Kadett carried on in South Africa after 1992. When the changes to standardise all model names was made, the same was done in SA with the intorduction of the Astra name being badged on the Kadett and the Monza
