U Spy: Watch Opel's Engineers Thrash the New Convertible Around the Nürburgring

This isn't the first time that Opel's as-of-yet, unnamed, Convertible model has set foot onto the Nürburgring, but up until now, we had only seen pictures of the production ready prototypes pushed around the famed race track in Germany.

Ford Focus ST vs. Opel Astra OPC / Vauxhall Astra VXR in New EVO Track Test

For many years, Ford and GM's Opel and Vauxhall brands have been battling it out in Europe's hotly contested sport hatchback segment.

Now, both automakers have come out with new proposals based on their highly popular Focus and Astra compact models.

Google Maps Gone Wrong? Street View Car Found Wrecked in India

It's not every day that you stumble upon an abandoned Google StreetView Camera Car in the middle of nowhere. And since you are bound to ask, by 'nowhere' we mean down a rocky hill in the Leh district of northern India.

New Opel Astra OPC / Vauxhall VXR Vs. Renault Megane RS 265 Cup

The new Opel Astra OPC, otherwise known as the Vauxhall Astra VXR, is the latest arrival in the European hot hatch segment. If there's one model it has to beat - aside from the ever-popular VW Golf GTI, it is the highly regarded Renault Megane RS 265 Cup.

In terms of specs, the two models are similar with the Astra OPC / VXR sporting a 2.0-liter turbocharged four that produces 276hp (280PS) and 400Nm (295 lbft) of peak torque channeled to the front wheels via six-speed manual and a limited slip differential.

Opel Adam Makes its Debut on Film, Plus New Photos

The first video trailers of the brand-new Opel Adam have hit the web following Tuesday's presentation of the premium mini and in advance of its grand premiere at the Paris Motor Show this fall.

There's no denying that Opel and its sister brand Vauxhall are trying to market the Adam as a more up-to-date and playful alternative to the Fiat 500 and to some extent, the MINI, something that is evident in the video spots as well as the photo gallery, which we have updated with new images.

Opel and Vauxhall Name their New City Car Adam, will Debut at the Paris Motor Show

As promised, Opel and its sister brand Vauxhall today revealed the name of their upcoming city car, which up until now, was officially known by its code name 'Junior'. The new model is called Adam, which also happens to be the name of the German automaker's founder, Adam Opel.

The company released a pair of pictures of a camouflaged prototype model, a video of the car revealing its name through a navigation map and a second comic strip featuring Opel employees who worked on the development and marketing teams for the Adam.
