    doesn't look sleek enough. maybe with all the camo gear removed it might look better.
    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.

    Looks like the twin top, too long and awkward rather than just a sedan with a soft roof

    Very interesting...

    The question is indeed - is this going to be a soft top or hard top vert in the AJ model series ???

    The last one (AH) was a hardtop, I can't see them going backwards to a soft top vert again ala TS or Astra G...

    The top disguise and soft top fitment may be a purposely orchestrated bum steer as this variant could still be 18 months away from launch...

    Unless of course Opel are planning to release 2 vert variants, one 4 seater soft top and the other a 2 seater twin top ?? as per pic I posted up on another thread Click here to enlarge

    Yep, that's another give-away that this could be a bum steer...

    Soft tops are B pillar-less Click here to enlarge

    Could be, or maybe even some other kind of full glass top that would require a B pillar ??

    Who knows we'll just have to wait and see until it's revealed.

    I'm so hoping they do a 2 seater roadster variant with the same drivetrain of the OPC/VXR variant...
