Just so you know , Opalas are Coupes and Sedans. That bronze sports wagon you rode are Caravans. The original aspired power trains were made into 4 - cyl 2.5 L engines , and inline 6 at either 3.8 L and 4.1 L engines .
The original design, engine , were , as everything else GM made up until early 2000 were derived from Opel engineered cars . German Designed , but not over engineered. For nameplate reference, Opel did not feature the Sports Wagon, but the Opala line up is an Opel Rekord.
The Gol is a watered down Scirocco. Out of the Gol platform , there were variations. Voyage , later sold as Fox in the US, was a three volume coupe, Parati , a sports wagon, and Saveiro , a mini pickup.
The whole reason being these cars thrived was merely economics, and at some point , the terrain / roads.
Ford’s only alternative to performance in Brazil was the Ford Maverick , a pony car. You might see them sporadically , but they fetch higher prices.
