Post by: BazaJT on 09 May 2013, 19:31:06

Advert has gone up on billboard opposite work today for new Vauxhall Cascada.Appears to be a hard top convertible-a Tigra replacement?-doesn't look a bad affair,certainly a sight better than that Adam thing anyway!

I think I saw the same one at Hillmead on Tuesday Nige. It looks about Astra sized, but I didn't look at it very closely, other than to think that the two large dials would be partly obscured by the wheel rim with the seat well back. :-\

They're a standalone model apparently, interior is unique to the Cascada apparently. It's a soft top too, not a hard top ;).

Just be rummaging through the gumph on Vauxhalls website...

Front suspension is VXR, rear is most definitely Astra J, and inspite of only letting me select a third of the options, it managed to reach nearly £37k with the twin turbo diesel lump :o

The Chevvy Camaro convertible starts at £40k...rwd, proper engine, proper fuel and proper gearbox...
