2013 Opel Astra Cabrio is not he hot Astra

It seems a bit to get into fashion, that the sporty, elegant offshoot of a series not only appearance but also the long name of hamlets. For BMW 3 Series Coupe, both will run about as well as the new 3 Series Convertible generation under a certain class of 4-prospective abbreviation. And Opel Astra Cabrio will be new not understood as despicable Astra.


This has existed since early 2011 has now confirmed the rumor "Auto Bild". Accordingly, the new Opel Astra Cabrio is a completely new name adorn. Of course, the convertible will be compared to his brothers and "higher positions". Sure, that is to be achieved with this strategy, an even higher price. Whether Opel can to the revitalization of the term "Calibration" carried away, however, may be doubted.

Unlike the metal roof of the predecessor to the Astra TwinTop convertible roof on the new classic finally made back in fabric. The rear end seemed at first fired Astra Convertible Erlkönigen but something that we say, "lush" and ordered a sweeping, suggests little space-saving metal folding mechanism. A feint?


Unfortunately, the new Opel-Cabriolet will not be produced in Germany: the new Opel-Cabriolet will be built not around at Rüsselsheim and Bochum in the works, but in Gliwice, Poland.


Also available on the Astra for a facelift: improved electronic systems such as adaptive headlights and radar cruise control can make up for the Opel Astra in the compact class. Visually, Astra-facelift in 2012, only slight changes.
