RE: Vauxhall Adam officially revealed

Many times have we been in the pub and spoken at length about it'd be class to have a range of cars with 'human' names.... someone must have been there!

I think its a little late to try and become retro due to already established markets, however as we have the Mini and the Fiat 500 and the beetle if you care to back a few more years, these were based on earlier much loved models so where does ADAM fit???

It's GM's entry into a very lucrative market sector. All the pthers are rivals and they fancied a slice of the pie.

It's a pity they don't still own Saab as they could have made a retro 96.

I'm completely underwhelmed by this design and it has generated a massive surge of indifference. Never hacve I been interested in a car less. It looks as funky as the new Micra and as exciting as stubbing your toe on the kerb.

Using funky (read "stupid") tags for trim levels doesn't alter the utter blandness of it. A case of Adamed if you do and Adamed if you don't.

A Chevette looks more modern.
