RE: Vauxhall preps 'Adam VXR'

[AlexKing]

This car is the guy who cottons on to an Internet meme slightly after it's stopped being funny, and then tries slightly too hard at it.

Why would I have a "trendy" vauxhall over a trendy continental car or Mini.

I bet it'll have those stupid fking indicators too.

[Astra Dan]

I suppose it'll get the car talked about a lot on the internet, though. Not as stupid or annoying as the "Cee'd", as abused and misunderstood as the ' is already....

I think the 'stupid indicators' (same as a 3 series BMW I recently found out) are only on the Vectra C, Astra H and same age Zafira.

Nope; they're on the two rental Corsas I had from enterprise. I dislike them so much that I specifically request 'anything but a corsa' now. This has seen me in 1.2 Chevy Sparks the last few times, all of which were massively superior pedals than their GM stablemate.

Ah ok, not driven many Corsas at all. I'm going on Insignias and Mk6 Astras not having them means any new ones don't.
I wonder why I've never seen rants about the 3 series ones when they're exactly the same system?

Don't know - never driven a Beemer. If what you say is true, I don't want to either now.

Adam - ridiculous name for a car - even one so horrendously shaped as this one. Every one should be sold with a pair of dark glasses and a balaclava in case you are seen behind the wheel. How could you live with yourself knowing you should have bought a Fiat 500/VW UP/Audi A1/Hyundai i10/ Austin Allegro .......

It doesn't matter how it drives, with looks like that, I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. It is an embarrassment to itself - sorry Adam.

Maybe they should do bright colours for the Opel side and call it Opel Fruit?

Or just call the pink one fruit

[Matt UK]

I look forward to the first "Adam & Eve" windscreen vinyl

This has to win the prize for the most idiotic car name ever.

+1. What a crap name

Glad I am not the only one.

Car looks OKish and I hope it does well. But come on, was that really the only name they could come up with?

ADAM?

What a stupid name for a car....

Can't wait for the new Vauxhall EVE.

Stripped down naked version version with a free Apple tree complete with Serpent! :-)
