Today Opel announced that its Corsa hatchback has reached a production milestone of 10,000,000 units. The Corsa hatchback has been in production since 1982.
To commemorate the occasion at Opel's plant in Eisenach, Thuringen, Germany, state premier Dieter Althaus and German Economics minister Michael Glos attended the event. And German actress Esther Schweins drove the ten-millionth anniversary ecoFLEX 1.3 CDTI off the production line.
Production began initially in Zaragoza, Spain in 1982 and after quickly reaching a ten percent market share in Europe, the first-generation Corsa racked up sales of over a million units by 1986. Following sales of 3.1 million units by 1992, second generation Corsa was gone on sale. Since the launch of the fourth-generation Corsa at the British International Motor Show in 2006, over 550,000 units have been sold.
