Four cylinder engines (2500 cm³) vibrate too much and 6 cyl (3800 and 4100) were too heavy, making rear end a crazy piece. Meanwhile it was a commercial success, very nice to see and comfortable. The heritage of the name was derivated from Opel and Impala (this car was a must in the sixties in Brazil) so that those round rear lights were based on the Chevrolet Impala, good enough to brazilian drivers taste. By the way, my father had two 4-cyl Opala, but I never bought one.
