  1. The problem with this “car” is unfortunately again the limitation to 45km / h. So you can not even in traffic with swimming. The appearance can be argued. But honestly which 15 year old has a few thousand euros for this car. At the latest when he is 18 is replaced by a real car.

  4. We need more emission-free city cars, which should be able to swim in the current traffic of 50 to 60 km / h. Even the mopfas are at 45 km / h obstacles, which are dangerously overtaken for all parties involved. The legislature provokes accidents.
    Why is such a mobile not a good reach, good acceleration and a speed matching for the city?

  6. Never bring the such thing …, Opel has always great again great ideas but also little courage. Had the Opel Rak E presented the Opel Rak E presented so 10 years ago, I would have exchanged the “big” immediately against our smart roadster.
    Nobody needs a 45 km / h of traffic impact, but may be that you can already know that at Opel in terms of max. 30 km / h in all inner cities.

  7. In this price segment Badge-Engineering is absolutely useful! Without a Citroen base, this Opel did not exist, so there is the Ami visually suitable for the Opel family, even with mini-vizor. I like it.

  9. SUM instead of SUV, which does not need (smarter) person …But the stupidity of the people is stopped upstairs, as you can see on the SUV sales figures. You should be punished with high inner-city parking fees
