RE: Vauxhall preps 'Adam VXR'

[fathomfive]

A special edition for all sentimental Liverpool fans - a red one with white powder coating...

The Charlie Adam.





It's ok, I already have my coat.

[Fastra]

The Adam and Eve....

I'm getting sick of cars have such huge inflated front ends. I know it's for pedestrian safety and all, but seriously, can't they just make the engine block lower rather than the bonnet higher?

or stick the engine behind the seats?

I'm not a fan of these floating roof jobbies, even blacked out B-pillars look a bit poo on no-coupes most of the time IMO.

If it was better looking; the weight and possible future power etc. could make it a good shout at the right price.

EDIT: Though I suppose a black one could look ok... Would have to see the spec/price details. But with the top end Corsa hitting 22K+ I reckon this in VXR guise will cost more than a Clio 200.

Isn't having the bonnet higher the whole point? Thus affecting which bits of the pedestrian take the brunt of the impact?

Badge is in the wrong place, just like a daew---chevrolet!

Would be bonkers to get one of those over a 500/KA!

Now a KA ST with an ecoboost would be exciting

Or what about a van version specifically aimed at roadbuilders?

The TarmacAdam.

VW Up starts at 8.5K. The high up is £11.5k with lots of extras as standard equipment, heated seats, maps and more (satnav, phone, blue economy watnot integrated in the car), radar braking, cruise control, heated seats, reverse sensors, alloys etc etc. It is light, 900kg, fun to drive and does 60mpg average.
The Adam is going to be nowhere near as competitive in this segment, the economy will likely be no good (in the real world) and residuals will be apalling compared to the VW. 13k is a joke - Adam should be nearer 8k.

If only they had called it Jeff, Dave or maybe Keith?

Naming a car after a person's first name just seems odd (Enzo and Dino being the exceptions that prove the rule).

My son will be pleased at least having a personalised car

Perfect partner to the Renault Zoe coming out soon

you can imagine the Marketing meeting

"OK guys we have an A-Z list of every name conceivable, its Friday, 16:45 and the pubs are open"

10 mins later the vauxhall adam was born

If that was the case it would have been the Vauxhall Aaron

adam has less letter so is cheaper to make badges for

[NateWM]

Did I read that right? LED studded roof liners?!
