At least it isn't retro.

I've seen worse. Dislike the current trend of having the roof and pillars a different colour to the body, though. That really needs to stop.

Better looking than the MINI or Fiat 500, IMO.

Why stupid?

I think it looks kinda smart. A rival for the DS3?

It's what the Corsa should have been really, looking at the proportions of it (assuming those aren't 20" wheels!) as the Corsa is now a huge, overgrown thing.

Stupid name, but at least it's visually interesting. Not sure on the current trend for different coloured roof sections though. It's only a small step 'till were back at the vinyl roof from there...

OK, 'stupid' may be a little harsh but that C pillar is horrid.

Just seen someone liken it to this:

I like the idea of the car. The PR bullst that goes with it; "Opel ADAM targets especially trendy urban customers"... not so much.

Great marketing campaign opportunity for Vauxhall here. Release it as two models; Adam and Eve. Make Adam available in boyish, manly colours and trim and release Eve in girly colours and trim.

"Adam and Eve: Do you want a boy's car or a girl's car?"

Brilliant.

Silly name. Cool little car. Probably just me but rear end seems so similar to an Audi A1. I really do like this. Looking again, forget i said Audi A1! More Fiat 500 lol!

The side profile suggests old shape (Mk1) Ford Ka to me.

It looks like something the Chinese would come out with, and call it a Fait 500.

Adam? Ok...
