You could say that what Opel has done is not original, that they've copied the beefy part of the Panda 4x4 and the convertible part of the 500C. But that would definitely not be fair, since all of German's repressed flamboyance has been packed into one car, and it has nothing to do with the way Italians do things.
The Fiat 500C looks good in baby blue, but Russelsheim's finest has the makings of an olympic medalist, vibrant yellow “Goldbusters” being its color of choice.
Opel says that the Adam Rocks, which will debut in Geneva next month "combines the joy of driving under an open sky with all the fun of an adventure-loving mini-crossover", but we find its personality is so much more than that. Looking at the first footage of the car in motion it becomes obvious this car is a form of self expression, like the Nissan Juke, only with a million miles more headroom.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
