With its new Astra Convertible, Opel is continuing the cooperation with the Bertone company that began in 1985. Like its two forerunners, this elegant convertible will be built in Italy. The new model is notable for its torsionally rigid body and the three-layer soft top with electro-hydraulic mechanism that is fitted to all versions, and includes a heated glass rear window. The Astra Convertible has been conceived as a model for all-yearround use: it seats four, has a 330 l trunk and can be powered by one of three smooth-running Ecotec engines developing up to 108 horsepower.
