The model name of the car is yet to be announced. It will enter production at Gliwice from early 2013. The Polish plant already makes the Astra GTC and OPC/VXR, as well as the Astra five-door hatchback.
The new model will have a canvas roof and reportedly be slightly more expensive than the popular Golf Cabrio but cheaper than the slow-selling VW Eos and Volvo C70.
*in the original version of this news item, just-auto’s contact had originally, and mistakenly, stated in an email that the car would be launched at the Paris motor show in September
