    the new golf cabrio just looks like a glorified eos imo

    and this one doesnt look too bad i guess, would want a better motor than what the former astra H vert had (z22yh) coz that was terrible due to the weight of it. oh, and if they name it a calibra, they will never make it out of the showroom Click here to enlarge

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    i'm a bit confused as to why they would show it with a cloth top. The Tigra and Astra H vert both went to hard tops.
    04 Astra Sri - Silver - Full red leather interior - mk4 888 wheels - Star light roof lining - lowered - ice - exhaust - vxr brakes - quite a few other things.

    Ok should have read the article Click here to enlarge

    There were a few custom convertible Manta's which were called the centaur "The cars were developed by Magraw Engineering and sold through Vauxhall dealerships on behalf of Crayford."

    Really, I don't think either of those names are suitable.

    +1 - totally inappropriate for both. Could dig up a few old Vauxhall names that would suit - but probably from era when Vauxhall was naming stuff, and they don't end in 'A'....
