FUGLY! There are bits of every other car on the market! 
Id agree its unpleasant and crass.Cars as cynical as these really ought to come with a severe hazard warning sticker on the 'styled'(read brazenly copied) dashboard.

Some of you guys are, well a bit weird.Cars as cynical as these really ought to come with a severe hazard warning sticker on the 'styled'(read brazenly copied) dashboard.

I really like what Vauxhall have done with this little car, from a design point of view you can see lots of ideas from the Audi A1, and the fiat 500, but I like it for a Vauxhall, I hope there is a VXR version with 200bhp+
That will be its USP I reckon.Thinking about its opposition:
-The Alfa Romeo Mito is a very strong contender, but as far as real-world use is concerned, it's a 2+2 coupe rather than a practical hatchback. If you've got legs, you can't get in the back at all.

It's a very nice car, but it's a 2+2 coupe, a kind of post-Millennial Alfasud Sprint, rather than a family hatchback. That honour goes to the Grande Punto, which may share a chassis, but is much better-packaged and easier to get in and out of.

I am not sure about the marketing strategy, but that said it isn't meant to appeal to us. It is meant to appeal principally to people under 30, who live in cities, who don't give a rats left testicle about cars, and are into all that image brand lifestyle crap
PHers will buy cars for the exact same reasons you listed above. I like the look of the Adam. I think they are a bit late as the 500 has been around a few years,n but I think they will still sell.
I actually like it,think its aimed at the 18-30 my parents have too much money market. and something ive noticed on here that makes me laugh and im guilty of myself, any normal german car is slammed for being bland. but then something that isnt bland is torn to shreds for being over the top!!
God bless public forums!!

I will just leave this here and suggest this could well be the inspiration for the name since Opel will be building this car in the Eisenach plant in Germany.

I blummin hope VX finally pull their finger out and design some better engines for their non VXR products. The 1.2, 1.4 and 1.8 petrol engines are utter w
k. There is a place reserved in hell for those engines. They need a line of small turbo engines, like the TSI but without twin charging.
