An Entity of Type: mean of transportation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The General Motors J platform, or J-body, is an automobile platform that was used by General Motors for compact cars from the 1982 to 2005 model years. The third generation of compact cars designed by GM, the J-body marked the introduction of front-wheel drive for its compact model lines, replacing the rear-wheel drive H platform. The J-body was marketed as a world car, with GM brands selling versions of the platform in North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan; in markets outside of North America, the model line was packaged as a mid-size car.

dbo:abstract
  • Die intern bei General Motors als J-Car oder J-Body bezeichnete Automobilplattform wurde für Fahrzeuge mit selbsttragender Karosserie, quer eingebautem Frontmotor und Vorderradantrieb konzipiert. Diese Plattform wurde ab 1977 entwickelt und ersetzte die GM H-Plattform. Das in Europa bekannteste auf ihr aufgebaute Fahrzeug ist der Opel Ascona C / Vauxhall Cavalier Mk. II. Charakteristisch war bei den Viertürern der J-Cars meistens die Wölbung der hinteren Seitenscheiben. Die Fahrzeuge wurden sowohl in Europa wie in Nordamerika im Frühjahr/Sommer 1981 eingeführt. Während die J-Plattform in Europa bereits 1988 durch den Opel Vectra A abgelöst wurde, wurden die letzten Vertreter dieser Plattform in Nordamerika, der Chevrolet Cavalier der zweiten Generation und der Pontiac Sunfire, bis 2005 angeboten.

  • The General Motors J platform, or J-body, is an automobile platform that was used by General Motors for compact cars from the 1982 to 2005 model years.

The J-body was marketed as a world car, with GM brands selling versions of the platform in North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan; in markets outside of North America, the model line was packaged as a mid-size car. Outside North America, the use of the J platform was phased out after the 1980s in favor of the Opel-based GM2900 platform. In North America, the introduction of the Saturn S-Series would lead to the consolidation of the J-body to the Chevrolet and Pontiac brands. Following several major revisions, the J platform remained in use into the 21st century; in June 2005, the final example (a Pontiac Sunfire) was produced. Introduced by Saturn for 2003, the GM Delta platform is the fourth generation of compact cars from General Motors. (en)
