Concept world premiere at Geneva Motor Show Rüsselsheim. With the Opel Meriva Concept , Opel presents the next level of monocab flexibility at the International Motor Show in Geneva (March 6 – 16, 2008). The vision of a future small monocab – a segment that the current Meriva has led since its launch in 2003 –boasts more than just new design cues: "We're unveiling an innovative approach for even greater flexibility in Opel monocabs," says Alain Visser, Chief Marketing Officer, GM Europe, before the concept's debut in Geneva. "With the Zafira's Flex7 seating system and the Meriva's FlexSpace concept, we began a new era in interior variability and permanently changed the world of the automobile." With Zafira, Meriva and soon Agila, Opel is enjoying great success with its monocab design – body models where the hood and trunk are not visibly separate from the cabin. Almost 335,000 segment-leading Zafira and Meriva models were sold in 2007. Every fifth Opel model sold today is a monocab, while in the whole market the quota is just every eighth car.

The Opel Meriva Concept transfers the brand's new design language to a small monocab and enhances it further. The side profile boasts the distinctive tick-shaped swage line, which was a typical design cue which appeared on the : MERIVA CONCEPT TO MAKE GENEVA DEBUT

Already Europe's market leader in the monocab sector, with one in five pan-European sales being a Zafira, Meriva or Agila, Vauxhall and Opel are set to unveil their vision of the future at the Geneva Motor Show on March 4th.

The Vauxhalll Meriva Concept draws styling cues from previous GM styling studies to show how the company's next generation small monocab could look, including the distinctive tick-shaped swage line and neat rear lamp clusters that typified the GTC Coupe and Flextreme models.

Another neat feature of the Vauxhalll Meriva Concept is the shape of the glass area, which swoops down towards the B-Pillar – a feature that would allow rear seat passengers a better all-round view if it were offered on a production model.

The Vauxhalll Meriva Concept is one of three GM world premieres set to appear at the show.
