		Tramiel claimed in a 1989 interview that he was influenced by an Opel Commodore that he had seen back in Germany.

		When Jack left the company in 1984 over a dispute with the company chairman, Irving Gould, more than 35 top execs and engineers left the company, which essentially gutted the company of its infrastructure, and most of its talent...leading indirectly to Commodore's eventual failure.
