The architecture was a multi-division project of GM North America, Opel and Saab,<ref>{{Cite journal |date=December 9, 2002 |title=Would You Buy a Chevy Saab? |journal=Forbes |pages=82}}</ref> and debuted in the 2002 [[Opel Vectra#Vectra C|Opel Vectra]] and 2003 [[Saab 9-3]]. Since this platform falls squarely in the center of the worldwide automobile market, GM plans to produce a great many Epsilon vehicles with over a dozen variations. {{As of|2005}}, it was GM's highest volume worldwide platform. Even after the dissolution of the GM/[[Fiat]] partnership, both companies retain the rights to continue developing Epsilon-derived models. A total of 16 different models have made use of the GM Epsilon platform, some of which remain in production 19 years after the platform debuted.
