GM says Opel talks to continue with RHJ, Magna

BERLIN/FRANKFURT: General Motors' European business said yesterday it had agreed to continue detailed talks with both Magna and RHJ International on its German unit Opel.

GM has been considering three final offers for Opel submitted on Monday by Magna, RHJ and Chinese carmaker BAIC. It did not mention BAIC in yesterday's statement on further talks.

GM and German government officials failed to agree on a partner for Opel at talks held on Wednesday to discuss the offers.
