PSA's acquisition of Opel will end GM's nearly 90 years of ownership that grew more turbulent and acrimonious as time wore on.

PSA's rationale for acquiring GM's chronic money loser, Opel, has many industry watchers puzzled but it has potential benefits for both sides, analysts and experts say.

Carlos Tavares, the energetic executive who plans to fold General Motors' European operations into France's PSA Group, is a modest man despite his high ambitions.

The first cars shared between PSA and GM's Opel unit will be among the debuts at this week's Geneva auto show. Other premiers include Renault's Alpine sports car, Range Rover's Velar SUV and Porsche's first station wagon.

GM and PSA will hold a press conference on Monday, with the subject expected to be PSA's acquisition of GM's European operations. Both companies are finalizing details of the deal for PSA to buy GM's Opel unit over the weekend, reports said.
