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.

Opel confirms that the premium four-seater car will measure 3.70m (145.7 inches) in length, which makes it about 154mm (6 inches) longer than the Fiat 500 and 160mm (6.3 inches) longer than the VW Up!, and that it will offer buyers plenty of customization options.

The automaker added that the Adam will make its world premiere at the 2012 Paris Motor Show in late September.
