But inherited typical Vauxhall quality

And no doubt vauxhall depreciation.

Ugly looking car and stupid naming.

Not a bad little motor that.

I do like small cars, I have no idea why, I personally think thats better looking than the Fiat 500.

maybe the engine will be more reliable than the vag 1,4 tsi, although that isn't hard

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

Yep, although 190bhp would put it far above any other car in that sector. The Twingo seems to be the current top Tiny Hot Hatch, and that only got 130bhp or something.

Just been reading that the engine isnt finalised in this yet apparently.

Its going to be competing against the 500 essess and the Cooper S, and its going to have to be considerably cheaper than either to get someone to buy one over one of those no matter how good it turns out to be.

The Adam Ant.

I'd rather a 500 I think, I mean, if I absolutely had to.

Looks to be trying a little too hard to me, I don't like Vauxhalls idea of an interior based on the Astra and Vectras I've driven.

BananaDunka · 22 Nov 2012 at 11:09

Is that the interior to a Beach Buggy?

Draeger · 22 Nov 2012 at 11:19

Read about this in the paper a few days ago. There's apprently a multitude of different colour combo's you can have interior wise. They even offer a 'Starry night' headlining option which has loads of little LED lights which come on at night. Bizarre.

A VXR version would no doubt go very well but it looks rather bland and boring as do the Fiat 500 and Audi A1.

BananaDunka · 22 Nov 2012 at 11:21

They've lost their marbles, seriously.

A fun car for people who have terrible eyesight.

THERE'S A FACE IN THE DASH! KILL IT!

I won't be able to get over the fact that it's called Adam, no matter how good it is. And I've already seen reviews on Youtube of the base models (Autocar I think it was) who said it just wasn't very good, so I can't imagine it will be fantastic.

The trim/spec options are an absolute joke. What kind of sad dimwits thought up the names for them?

Zefan · 22 Nov 2012 at 11:42

The inside of that reeks of transformers. This is not a good thing.

abysmal styling. I hate all these "trendy" little super minis

Agreed. Bring back simple plastic dashboards and cars with substance.

Mk1 golf, Mk2 golf, 205 GTI, R5 GT Turbo.

God I miss my 205, that was a proper "little" car.
