2009 Opel Meriva spy shots and CGI
July 15, 2008 by George Skentzos
Our spy photographers have produced the best images so far of the upcoming Opel Meriva, along with an artist’s impression of the new model.
Heavily camouflaged to confuse both the eye and the lens, these images reveal a unique new design feature of the Meriva despite the best efforts of the manufacturers to disguise it.
Closer inspection by our photographers revealed the rear door handles were fake, perhaps the final proof that the rumoured suicide-door configuration has made it into the production models.
With the added practicality of suicide doors and Opel’s economical diesel engines, this will no doubt be a great success for the brand.
Print it: 
If imitaiton is the sincerest form of flattery then the Mercedes A-class will be pleased…
If it ends up looking like the A-class, thank f*** it doesn’t look like the B-class.
Clearly a derivative of the Zafira.
Not sure why suicide doors are better than normal doors.
But, it surely is a copy of the Merc – it’s got 4 wheels, front drive, 4 doors, steering wheel – yep, definately a rip-off.
Suicide doors, hmmm. Cannot see them working too good if you park near a car in a shopping car park.
