. Part of competing with these cars is offering a wide range of options that allow buyers to tailor their car specifically to their needs. Opel has adapted its FlexFix bike carrier for the Adam, and it will be available when the car goes on sale.
FlexFix mounts to the rear bumper and can be adjusted without tools. It locks bicycles in place for security and can hold up to 30kg. When not in use it collapses into the rear of the car. There is a clip on adapter that allows the user to attach a second bike that weighs up to 20kg.
When the user needs something from the rear hatch, FlexFix tilts out of the way and allows the hatch to openly fully. It even works with the park assist system.
The Adam will be offered with a 1.2-liter engine with 70hp or a 1.4-liter engine with either 87hp or 100hp. All three engines will have an Ecoflex option that adds stop/start. A brand-new, direct injected turbocharged engine and six-speed manual are due in 2013.
The Adam will be offered in three trim levels - Jam, Glam and Slam. Each trim will have a wide variety of options including a headliner with embedded LEDs.
Orders for the Adam will start shortly after its Paris debut, but deliveries will not begin until early 2013.
