Holden Tigra Hardtop
Convertible
Holden Press Release
Holden stepped up its focus on the small car market last month with the launch of the Tigra hardtop convertible. The sporty two-seater roadster is the first hardtop convertible to represent the Holden brand and was crowned "Cabrio of the Year 2004" at the Geneva Motor Show.
The versatile European import changes from coupe to open-top in just 18 seconds at the touch of a button as its retractable steel roof slips neatly into the boot.
The compact Tigra’s stylish wedge-shaped design wins fashion points while it maximizes functionality and flexibility. The two-seater layout and innovative packaging permit comfort and impressive luggage space.
"Tigra gives you the best of both worlds. You feel like you're driving a coupe with the top up and cruising in a cabrio with the top down," Mr Mooney said. “Tigra will bring new buyers to the Holden brand because it’s a unique kind of buyer who purchases a two-seat roadster. It’s also the sort of car you want in your showroom –something to put right up front in the dealership that really attracts people.
"Tigra delivers fun, excitement and image and enhances your brand. It’s not a big volume car but it provides amazing value and complements the Astra convertible."
