“It’s an Opel that came over here from Europe as the new Saturn Vue but then Saturn closed so Chevy decided to make it a fleet only vehicle which I then bought from Enterprise for hilariously cheap because it’s been beaten on like an old mule.”

As far as I knew it’s lineage started in Europe as the Opel Antara. It was then spread out across the world as the Captiva Sport, Vue, Captiva5, Terrain, and Windstorm MaXX for Daewoo.

Wikipedia says it was developed by Daewoo, so I’ll say it’s theirs.

I’ve had dozens of rentals over the years, but the Captiva has the distinction of being my least favorite of all time. It offroads decent when you have the insurance and don’t give a shit though.

you are correct. I’ve been googling and while both are baby SUVs, they don’t seem to have a connection. I actually don’t hate this

The 7-seat Captiva was, the 5-seat Captiva Sport though started life as an Opel Antara.

My brother in law once said the name was very fitting. Because he’s have to be held captive at forced at gun point to buy one.

That’s a different Chevy Captiva.
The ones sold as fleet vehicles here in the US were the Opel Antara/Saturn Vue/etc.

Don’t worry. It’s a crossover, so no one will ask you about it. You’d be anonymous.

I had a Captiva as a rental car for a couple weeks. I felt like I was being “held in captiva” the whole time. What a horrible, horrible car.
.....Yeah, I just wanted to make that “held captiva” joke to someone other than my parents.

That’s like $5,000 too high for such a mediocre vehicle. Unless they’re desirable in Canada for some reason.

I think they’re awesome!
Supposedly, they still seel the Opel Antara in Europe! Double funny since it’s not sold here anymore (where SUV’s are most popular)
