    Even though Opel cars are not as popular as Ford or Volkswagen they are still amazing. Especially cars such as the GT and the Manta, which I think are one of the most beautiful Opel cars made. Plus also heard that the first corvette of the 50s was actually a project of Opel while being under GM.

    That's interesting. The GT does look like a small Corvette in many ways.

    Hi mate, I'm quite enjoying the content, however, I'm not sure if this is deliberate on your end or not but you appear to be randomly adding emphasis on words in the middle of sentences.

    Thank you for your feedback. As I am not a native english speaker myself, I have to hire Voiceover artists. I have had a hard time finding someone who is consistent and right for the channel. I do see your point when it comes to this particular voiceover. The style is that of a news presenter, but it might be a bit too much. Our newer videos have different VO's now.
