    Let me take a stab at answering that one...........maybe its because VAG perceive there is a demand for such cars. My guess is they would be right......they don't get it wrong too often do they? If I'm not mistaken, each generation of the Golf has had a cabrio version (if you include the Eos as the equivalent of a MK V Golf).

    One could say the same about the Polo or the Golf could they not?

    Yeah, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
    If you like the Golf GTI or R, and you also like cabriolet's, then these can't be that bad!

    I like the GTI one.. for some reason the R one doesnt flow as well with its slightly sharper front end styling.

    They remind me of bathtubs (on wheels).

    Golf R CAB question

    I just noticed this...

    SPY PICS: VW tees up Golf seven
    Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet: VW's hottest ever drop-top on the way |*CarAdvice

    You guys probably spotted this already, but I just joined the forum...and wanted to ask...

    Would you buy one?

    The issue I think we will find with a Cab version of the R is price.
    If the current Golf Cab is approx. $8k more than the standard Golf, will it be a similar price jump for the R spec?

    The same question would probably apply for the GTI Cab too.

    Personally- I think it's damn cool, 4Motion Convertible under 70k? Yes please!

    Hell no.

    a) The Golf is lardy enough already
    b) Hatches turned into convertibles are always a poor compromise
    c) I'm not a hairdresser from Double bay
