I quite like it but it looks a bit peugeot to me styling wise.

I like the Ampera is it? The hybrid saloon car. Shame on the price, but looked very smart. At least I think it was a Vaux. Lol

For pedestrian impact protection.
That looks good tbh, looks like they are aiming at the huge market the 500 currently owns..... Frankly it won't displace the 500 or even the mini :(

Wonder if it will have a bonnet mounted airbag.

Been training for the past couple of days, speaking to one of the techs from west london audi, says he runs a 500 to beat the congestion charge! Apparently they do good money darn sarf!

Knee bag too? These improvements can only be good.

The first of the plastic fronted pedestrian friendly cars looked a bit ungainly. At a guess, the Peugeot 407 complies?
My sisters current shape Clio is another pugly one.

Then there is the Nissan GT-R, with a bonnet that raises upon pedestrian impact, to deflect them away from the screen. So they're not all gopping lol

Although when two cars have a prang now, it sounds like someone kicking a wheelie bin.
I miss the gold days of bumpers that could be straightened, and shattered glass headlampa!

I didn't like it.... until I saw one.

Looks really will proportioned and sits rather well. Ideal little run about for small shopping trips.

It's called the Vauxhall Adam as it got it's name after the founder of Opel. Adam Opel.

First thing I thought was 'Peugeot' with that big fat mouth in the front.

Don't really like it tbh, nothing really fresh about it and the twinkly lights in the headlining have tacky prom limo written all over them

Read about that happening to a guy a while back - was some astronomical cost to fix up iirc...

I have never seen one yet. It sounds the opposite of the new small Peugeot, 208 is it? I liked them until I saw them. Have only seen gash colours so far though. Same goes for the GT86.

Vauxhall are producing some nice looking cars. The Astra GTC is tidy. It also sits well on the road, if a little large!

I don't know what the interiors are like though. Any pics of it or the Adam?
