New Vauxhall Cascada Convertible teaser images Vauxhall has released "teaser" images of its new mid-size, four-seater convertible, dubbed the Cascada, which goes on sale early next year. The company says the car is categorically not an Astra convertible, since at 4.7 metres long it's 7cm longer than an Audi A5 Convertible. Details are scarce, but the fabric roof can be opened or closed at up to 30mph. The Cascada marks Vauxhall's departure from the compact cabriolet sector, with which it enjoyed success with cars such the Astra Mk3 Convertible and the more recent Astra Twin Top. The Cascada is a 225mm longer than the Astra Twin Top, which was discontinued in 2010. Cascada is the third new name to be introduced by Vauxhall this year, following the Mokka SUV and Adam city car. Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall's chairman and managing director, said: "The Cascada, along with the Adam and Mokka, will bring a fresh and exciting dimension to our product line-up. This year is genuinely a new chapter in Vauxhall's long history, and I'm pleased that we're able to enter the mid-size convertible sector and continue to refresh people's perception of our great brand. It won't be shown at the Paris motor show at the end of the month, Vauxhall choosing to concentrate on the Adam. More details will follow soon, however, as the Cascada is due to go on sale in early 2013.
