Opel halo supercar? That would be surprising. But I think a tribute to the Opel's founder would be great with the old-school elegant luxury saloon/coupe but modern tech, with a big V8 with about 500 PS. Like the old Diplomat was, but this even more enchanting. IMO, that would be excellent. And the image of the Opel would be considered then as a serious niche premium automaker.

@fangio
true, toyota threw in money on the lexus LFA in order to boost the lexus image and chrysler was, if it wasn't cancelled because of selling price ( why? toyota didn't give a shit about it), the ME412 would boost chyslers image
we also got cars like the cadillac cien and just about every other halo car

Why Opel did not make a supercar as hommage to Adam Opel?
Would be interesting because I can not imagine how it would look like!

Hehe, this is one of the funniest car I've ever seen! I can't watch it without a smile on my face :)
And the name - one of the wittiest! I imagine such dialog:
- Adam, which car do you drive?
- I drive Adam!
- ???
Let me guess, the Adam means the name of Opel's founder - Adam Opel, but is it a hint that he was a cheerful, frivolous person, who goes into shopping each second day, and drives to a party every weekend?

Deliverys Begin January 15th 2013.
And comes in 3 Trims...Ready?...Jam (Fashionable/Colourful), Glam (Elegant/Sophisticated) and Slam (Racy/Sporty) - Adam customers can effectively 'Build' their own car.
I for one Absolutley Love this little thing! I think it will Sell like hot cakes! The Customization options and the estimated price of £10,400, And how good the interior and exterior look, i see this things sales doing extremely well.
If it werent for its size, i would also consider purchasing one, as im on the market for something new.
