description
one year after the tigra twintop, holden adds another coupé/convertible to its range / as usual, the australian carmaker has browsed the vauxhall catalogue and this time has picked the astra twintop / while being aesthetically identical (minus the badges), the astra twintop from down under distinguishes itself from its english sibling in the technical department : the wide engine range has been replaced by a sole but new 2.2 unit with direct injection
