I'd argue that it was the generation of Opel content before this that set the wheels in motion. If you owned a 2000 Astra or Vectra they were well known for being dogshit, and the following generation were no better. That alienated anyone willing to spend a bit of money and you were left with the cheap and cheerful crowd and competition with decent Korean products.
