New Opel Tigra Sport Rouge - Front Side Picture

Opel/Vauxhall has confirmed the production of new Astra Convertible in 2013. The new Cabrio is part of the company’s €11 billion investment pledge announced approximately one year ago as part of its plan for the future. It comes on the heels of successful previous products as well new the upcoming new generation Zafira, and the revolutionary Ampera electric vehicle.

The new Convertible will be based on Opel/Vauxhall’s compact vehicle architecture which is also the basis for the current Astra, the Astra SportsTourer and the upcoming Astra GTC. It will hit the market in 2013 – the same year that Opel/Vauxhall will also launch its chic and stylish small car meeting the growing demand for vehicles in line with a young and urban lifestyle. Subsequent to a joint agreement between management and employee representatives during the restructuring at the Opel plant in Gliwice, Poland, the decision has been made to build the Cabrio at the highly-efficient Gliwice plant alongside other Astra models. Further pricing information and other details will be announced closer to the launch timing.
