This had to happen. If you have followed the growth of the Corsa, a new model below was almost inevitable. Only the name, the could hardly anticipate someone. 'Adam' should probably point to the company founder, but he had to do really nothing with the automotive production of Opel. It lacks a bit in the continuity, because one had the series with the 'A' both at the beginning and the end already abandoned in favor of the 'A' at the end. Now once again appears the 'A' at the beginning. After all, the styling still has a certain family resemblance. However, where one asks where is remained the boomerang effect from the Ampera. That was really a fantastic Opel unique selling proposition. After all, the popular bike rack there is again, the indeed really has to do a lot with the tradition of the company. As a rival of Adam should be mentioned the up! family of VW only in terms of price. The design with the color-contrasting roof rail clearly targets on the Audi A1. Interesting idea this dichotomy. No, the dashboard will be not Audi-like. It must again be somewhat overdressed jukebox-presentation because after all, young people are the aimed buyers. Otherwise, unfortunately, not enough new. No downsizing in the displacement and probably no direct injection. Nevertheless start-stop as an extra. Whether this is sufficient for saving? 08/12
