Sorry, did you just say that's called an Adam?

First off, crap name for a car. Secondly, given the size of the thing, surely it's more of an "Apple"!

No. That misses my point entirely.

So if this is based on rumour I imagine they have just lumped together some Opel group stats. In which case, where is the 1.4 190bhp engine from? Sounds like a hoot.

IT'S RED AND ABOUT THE SIZE OF AN APPLE!!!!

Your the one who misses the point!

Anyhow, it was only intended as a joke, stop being so touchy.

Supercharged is a reasonable stat. VAG have a 1.4 TSI supercharged 180bhp lump that they use in a variety of small hot hatches.

I said it misses MY point. And no, it's nowhere near the size of an apple. :confused:

Actually, the 185PS 1.4TFSI is a twin-charged unit, not just a supercharger.

It's round ish and apple like, looks more like an apple than an Eve anyhow!

Yaayuh! · 21 Nov 2012 at 21:48

the VXR would have to be under £19K, which i'm sure it will be, otherwise you may as well sacrifice 7 or 8hp and get the Audi A1.

How hard is it to understand that I was inferring that it's a woman's car, and a woman's name could be Eve, and Eve goes with Adam, for obvious reasons.

It had nothing to do with the size, colour or even the favorite fruit of the designer.

Wasn't that the bad apple from the tree of temptation... Not exactly what you want to link a car to.

By the same notion reference to a the bible for a name isn't a great move for a car, although saying that its probably a Euro only car so the bulk will be Christian markets

Adam Opel is evidently a more logical name.

Is 190bhp going to be the top end of these 1.4 engines, or could we possibly be looking at tiny little girl cars easily tuned to 200bhp+?

Sounds like the kind of thing you would let your GF buy so that you could 'borrow' it at the weekends

The 185PS (181BHP~) 1.4TFSI in the A1 will take a REVO remap up to 215BHP / 283NM.

Is this replacing the Corsa then?

An A1 had sex with a 500

Will sell well then.

No, its the car below that. Isn't the current model called the Agila or something?

Tute · 21 Nov 2012 at 23:03

Ah, fair enough. Positioned at the likes of the Twingo, Ka, etc.

Eeermmm. No.
