I was wondering what happened to this great looking VW concept!
Well, here it is: the production version will be presented in September 2005 and it will go on sale in January 2006, at least in Europe.
Engines available will include the 2.0 Liter turbo from the New Jatta GLI and Passat (also in the Audi A3 and A4).
As well as the 3.2 Liter V6.
If it is priced right, it should be a hit in the US. (it shouldn't start much above $26000).
Competition will include the Pontiac G6 convertible which starts at around $28000. But later, the all new Chrysler Sebring convertible, which is also supposed to get a folding hardtop from Karman's US branch.
Let's hope US sales don't start too long after that. We're still waiting for the Golf that came out almost 2 years ago in Europe!!!
