In their efforts to revive the company, Opel have added a premium city car to the mix, aimed directly at Fiat 500 and MINI Cooper buyers. But unlike its rivals, the Adam is not retro in any way, though some people might say it cannibalizes the styling of other cars and makes it its own.
The Adam was designed from the start to become a convertible with minimal restyling efforts. Just like the the Fiat 500 or the DS3 Cabrio, the Adam Convertible will sport a landaulet-type folding fabric roof.
It will not be a true convertible in the sense that it will still have door pillars, but it’s difficult to engineer the proper rigidity into a car without these supports.
A recent report from German magazine AutoBild suggest the Adam drop-top will be ready sooner than anybody expected, taking down its top at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, which is in March. They also say that it will be €1,000 more expensive than the regular Adam.
