The Opel Adam, the “individual champion” among the small-car market in Europe, reached a historic milestone as Opel has received over 100,000 orders since the Adam‘s inception in early-2013 − including 3,000 preorders for the Adam Rocks.
“Customer demand for the Opel Adam shows us that this type of car has been missing on the market – a car that expresses its owner’s personality, that offers almost limitless customization possibilities and that makes a real statement,” says Chairman of the Board Opel Group, Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann. “And for the adventure-loving Adam drivers, we now have the robust Adam Rocks in the line-up – extremely unconventional and totally cool.”
The Opel Adam and Adam Rocks models aren’t just a showcase of individualty − they both feature a new powerful and efficient 1.0 ECOTEC Direct Injection Turbo mated to an all-new low-friction six-speed manual transmission. The all-aluminum three-cylinder unit is available in 90 hp and 115 hp guises, delivering stellar fuel consumption and emission ratings.
But the individuality doesn’t end there, as the upcoming Adam Rocks has fresh colors including numerous interior combinations, plus several roof designs (like the Swing Top canvas roof, which opens up at the touch of button in just five seconds) for the Adam Rocks to be personalized as much as its stablemate.
ADAM ROCKS also features Opel‘s renown IntelliLink infotainment system that should be familiar to ADAM enthusiasts. The infotainment system has a seven-inch color touchscreen and is fully compatible with the latest Apple iOS and Android-based smartphones. Its easy operation helps ensure safe driving.
The new mini-crossover will be in dealerships at the end of September, which should help the ADAM achieve 200,000 in orders before too long.

And why is the Adam not imported to the US ?
I would like to see the next generation Adam become a world car in the same way as BMWs mini and Fiats 500. It would be great to see the joined-up thinking of GMs Buick/Opel/Vauxhall design and product synergies reach a new level over the next generation of product rollouts.
mini is a bigger car. Fiat 500 is the only none of the other manufacturers are not after Adam Opel, and Fiat 500 in the class. vw up, twingi Renault, Citroen C1 cars are also small but the second grade. Fiat 500 earns money in America alone
I understand that mini is a bigger car, but both mini and Fiats 500 are examples of fully ratified sub brands that have several body styles utilizing a common architecture and that’s why I referenced them. By using the Buick/Opel brands to give the products a more global footprint, G.M could achieve the same success with Adam.
mini vs opel corsa. mini vs audi a1 is correct. mini is still higher than the Audi A1 and Audi A1 is higher than the Adam Opel. only fiat 500 vs opel adam
Audi A1 = Modern day Audi 50.
