General Motors T platform (FWD)


General Motors reused the T-body designation, beginning in 1979 with the front-wheel drive Opel Kadett D and the Vauxhall Astra Mk I. This was part of a global strategy by GM to introduce a new front-wheel drive architecture for its sub-compact models, and would be further developed into the J-body platform which would cover the compact size segment.
This version of the T-body also became widespread throughout the world, including South Africa, where the rear-wheel drive version was not originally available.
Other names for the FWD T platform are the GM2700 and the GM3000, applied to Opel Astra G and Zafira A and their rebadges.
The platform was superseded by GM Delta platform and preceded by the GM T platform (RWD).
