description
the retractable hardtop is no longer reserved to coupés/convertibles : it is being fitted to a more and more eclectic range of vehicles / at the 2006 geneva motor show german specialist cts created a small sensation with a convertible minivan concept : its three roof panels pile before swinging into the trunk / this system has a drawback : while the minivan accomodates 7 passengers on 3 rows when the roof is closed, the third row cannot erect when the top is down, and the luggage may only be put in a small hanging tray / thus the multipurposeness of the vehicle is reduced
the opel zafira on which the concept is based has also been restyled by bertone : its attitude is more aggressive thanks to new bumpers, rims and taillightsphotos
