The confirmation was done by a "senior source" within Opel/Vauxhall and comes after several reports pointing to a rival for the Citroën DS3 Cabrio and Fiat 500C. Not much is known but according to autocar the new cabriolet will get a "pram-style electric folding roof".
Sales are expected to begin in 2014 with a public presentation later this year.
