Chronology
Predecessor|

* GM T platform (1973)
* GM M platform

Successor| GM Delta platform

General Motors reused the T-body designation (sometimes referred to as the T80 platform to differentiate it from the previous T-body), 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 (lower mid-size outside North America) 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.[1]

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The platform was superseded by GM Delta platform and preceded by the GM T platform (RWD).
