GM T platform

The General Motors T-car was an automobile platform for subcompact cars. It was the 1970s' most prolific world car program. The T-cars were all rear-wheel drive unibody cars.

GM reused the T-body name beginning in 1979 with the front-wheel drive Opel Kadett D and the Vauxhall Astra Mk I. This version of the T-body also became widespread throughout the world.

Other names for the FWD T platform are the GM2700 and the GM3000, applied to Opel Astra G/B and Zafira A and their rebadges.

The platform was superseded by GM Delta platform.
