I guess that just like in the UK, as a sort of fun but cheap alternative to the established über saloons. They have pretty much the same lineup as continental Europe with a name change and the big Holden.
Currently the biggest, most powerful Opel on sale is the Vectra OPC, a front wheel drive hatch/estate with a 280bhp turbocharged V6 which is a segment below the Commodore.

Visca Catalunya!
Yeah GM only ever had a version for the C5 Vette and Camaro/Firebird which was around 220/225kw, but the Corvette had the "base" engine by most reports. Every other version had been detuned, and the 260kw and 285kw versions Holden/HSV had were upgraded with cams, extractors etc IIRC. Thats why LS1 Edit was so popular, as in effect it was just undoing everything Holden had done to choke the engine.
