Vauxhall 'Adam'

[turbojolt]

is this not the worst car name in history?






lol

[Steve]

It came from adam Opel didn't it? But yeah its a horrible name and what's even worse is how bad the car actually looks!

[turbojolt]

i dont like any of the vauxhalls coming out right now the new astra looks ****e aswell

[Novasport]

It is just a Fiat. They engine and platform share with everyone now. I think it is the Fiat 500 & Ford KA platform.

[Stuart]

Too big for the 500 I think.

Anyhow, want a bad name? The Vauxhall mokkkkkka lol

[amggsi]

I thought it was loosely based on the Corsa platform, which is the same as the Punto. I could be wrong though!

[novadave24]

the new vxr astra looks poo i think lol

[novadave24]

[raf24]

[nova_niek]

Adam, named after the Opel founder Adam Opel.

Bit like the Ferrari Enzo was named after founder Enzo Ferrari, but different. :cool:

[staggy_gsi]

I agree its a stupid name and i crap looking car.

But because my name is Adam and i have a passion for vauxhalls, i still feel i must own one at some point....

:(

There both poo full stop

[brucer]

i think they look pretty cool, would consider one as a toy if i was a playboy millionaire, plus alot more.

[craig green]

Bad looking cars usually catch on, I find.
cars I hated 4 years ago I am quite keen on now, still a chance I might appreciate a modern Vauxhall one of these days then!

[Benn]

Who cares. It has a 1.4 130 (iirc) brake turbo engine... Few years and i guarantee some one will have one in a Nova...

[Stuart]

If the engine is anything like the 1.4 turbo we have in the Abarth, it will be fantastic to drive.

135bhp, not huge but its got oh so much torque all over the rev range its just epic for a tiddler.

[novadave24]

[mowgli]

nothing wrong with the name 'Adam' other then your parents being lazy with the childrens name book, the name Adam for a car is fooking awfull lol

you really love sitting in that glass house with your chucking stones, don't you??

adam is often used to signify a new beginning, which is apt, looking at this car.....

delving into the vauxhall history, the man who started the company was alexander wilson... but the vauxhall alexander is hardly a snappy choice, and it means 'man warrior' lol lol

leigh means a field of grass..... any ideas???

my name means: he who is like god.. my mum really missed the bus with that one lol lol lol

HA!!

leigh means from the medow its about being free and traveling, which would lend its self better to being a car name then adam :thumb:

[Stuart]

So by those terms, Ford is wrong, Mercedes-Benz is wrong, Porsche is wrong, Buick is wrong etc etc etc.....

names dont have real meanings, that was just mumbo jumbo to keep the dullard masses under control when religion became a moot point in ye olde days.

lol

Looks like a Fiat 500/Citroen CS3/Nissan Juke/MINI/Ford Ka and no-doubt other cars all rolled into one.

Not bad (for what it is) but not original. Even the Koreans and Chinese are mostly going their own way these days ffs. lol

For what it's worth, I like the GTC VXR. Shame it's so huge. Looks great on the outside though imo, and like nothing else currently on the road - hard to manage that.
