Will Opel be able to get independent from General Motors in 2008?

Settled as No

Opel is still a part of GM as of the end of the year.

Background:

Opel, the German part of the General Motors (GM) corporate group is
currently seeking government assistance. Opel still makes profit, while GM has currently problems with paying the bills caused by the financial crisis.

There are rumors about buying Opel out of the corporate group and transform it into a single Opel AG.
