New Meriva will have rear-hinged rear doors


Opel's new Meriva minivan will have rear-hinged rear doors like those shown in a concept that the General Motors subsidiary unveiled here.
"These doors have had very good feedback and they will make it on to the production version," Alain Visser, GM Europe's chief marketing officer, said.
The concept's rear-hinged rear doors open wider than front-hinged doors. That makes it easier for passengers to get in and out.
Visser said the new Meriva will look very similar to the Geneva concept car.
The new-generation Meriva likely will go on sale in early 2010.
Visser would not say where the new Meriva will be built. The current small minivan is produced at GM's plant in Zaragoza, Spain,
