Two Opel and Chevrolet dealers, Gold&Platin in Pipera andExpocar on Bucharest's Ring Road, have closed down their Bucharestshowrooms and opened dealerships in Bacău and Buzău, respectively,towns that did not have dealers of the two brands before.
Whilst the Bucharest market is relatively crowded with dealers,importers are seeking new markets for their cars in order to adjustto an 80% smaller market than in 2008.
"The showrooms of certain dealer groups, such as Expocar andGold&Platin, have been relocated in order to make the dealernetwork as efficient as possible," said Cătălin Manta, countrymanager of Chevrolet Romania.

As for Opel's showroom network, it will be left with fivedealerships, Rădăcini Motors, GTT, Erebus, Di-Bas and Union MotorsCar Sales, the latter belonging to Israeli group New Kopel Romania.Opel officials did not provide comment by edition close.
