FML I hate working on convertibles. I doubt they'll come over here though, the market for them wouldn't be big enough

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

Convertible GTI or R is wrong.
