It's the replacement for the Agila, intended to sit below both Adam and Corsa in the range, as a no-nonsense very ordinary, basically boring car to be bought by people with no imaginations, in a way. Alternatively, if you want reliability, space, economy, and easy driving etc, and put style, speed, sportiness and the like lower down on your list, then it's a perfectly good car.

I think their logic is that a large proportion of the customers are of the generation that remember/owned the original, so maybe an element of nostalgia?

Prefer the old viva and the plastic interior smell , modern micro cars today have no style at all  :(

Went on many a sea side trip in one like this  :)

It's everything like the old Viva; a small,  cheap Vauxhall based on existing conventional mechanical bits.

It doesn'tlook like the old Viva because things have changed over the last fifty years !

Had a look at one the other day, think it might do nicely for my better half at some point.  She likes tiny city cars with eco friendly engines, no tax, easy / cheap to fix and it seems to fit the bill.
