Have Vauxhalls marketers been smoking weed ?

[MarkJunedd]

Read about this yesterday and although i think it looks decent enough i was quite amused at the model name (after the designer) and the version names . Thank god BMW didnt call the last 5 series a Bangle !

Well would you Adam and Eve it.

Hope the buyers are Adam-ant they are on to a good thing.

I think it looks good and the name is all right, better than Up! and Fox.

They should have called the Vauxhall version Alex.

 

[MarkJunedd]

Its the version names which amused me . Jam , Glam and Slam !! I even checked the date to make sure it wasnt 1st of April. Just a thought ,Why not name them after curries ? Korma for basic model , Jalfreze for a bit spiceier and Vindaloo for the quick one ??

They're supposed to - it's a fun car, aimed at the youth market.

That would just be a tacky imitation of the Mini's Salt, Pepper and Chilli packs.

It's a vauxhall - who gives a fig !

BMW and Fiat - it's gunning for Mini/500 customers.

Not into the Mini thing , didnt realise they did this with their models.

Designers name is Mark Adams, so why did they not call it Madams,after all it's clearly a woman's car.

The three trim levels could be, Bimbo, Milf and Mature !

They must be on something as they say their new astra is 'breathtaking'. It's certainly vomit extracting.

 

[Buster'stheboy]

Rotten name for a car. Better than Cedric I suppose. I don't like modern names and numbers for cars.

Cars used to have great names. Super Snipe, Zephyr, Avenger...

That reminds me of Victor Meldrew going into a garage to pick his car up and shouting, "I'm the Red Avenger!"

I hope it don't drink don't smoke, but given it's a Vauxhall - it will probably smoke...

A German car built in Germany-- there's a novelty! Opel ADAM: Big Investments for a small car

a little pdf comic strip showing how they chose the name . Kinda lets you know the "demographic" they are aiming at. Opel / Vauxhall Adam announced

If GM Europe had any brains they'd be building these at their plant in Spain, the pressure to keep open all their plants in Germany is why they keep loosing money, and may even lead to the end of Vauxhall/Opel...

The sooner the better IMO, hateful ugly things.

The sooner the better IMO, hateful ugly things.

They employ a lot of people here though, and unlike Mercedes, don't seem to rust and break down.

The pile them high and sell (lease) them cheap thing has killed their value though, that said it's how MB sell (rent) cars these days...

I like what the Vauxhall brand offers - a 3 year old family sized car, with cheap servicing and repairs for less than £4k. Audi want customers to spend near £30k for a new A1!
