Spy pics of new VW Cabrio.....

[BMWDave]

Spotted while on my weekly route between Tampa FL, and Central FL. I spotted the black one first, I was on my way and saw this funky mis-badged coupe that looked like it had a hartop/convertable. I instantly knew it was a VW/or Audi from distinctive design cues (and the fact that i know they test them on this stretch of the interstate). I have seen Jettas and Passats several months before anyone knew they were even coming out.

Well, the guy in the black one didnt like that he had to put down his "sidekick" to avoid me taking pics of the car so he slammed the brakes to get behind me, I then slowed down to have him pass. He took off to a VERY high rate of speed. Then exited off the interstate. I was on my way to work so i didnt worry much about seeing it again, but there was an accident later down the road and i happened to be stuck on the top of an overpass and he was exiting right UNDER me! yay more pics!

The light blue one was spotted alittle more recently and had the top down w/ an older woman driving. I got next to it and got out my trusty camera phone and again, they slammed the brakes to try and disrupt my picture taking! oh well!

What is the point of this car now that the New Bettle Cabrio is out?

It looks like a European car...it's smooshed and looks tippy.

how can it be smooshed and tippy at the same time?

The new Beetle convertible is going out pretty quickly, Vee Dub needs a new cheap convertible.

It looks smooshed lengthwise, but is still thin and tall, making it look tippy.

Doesn't look bad at all, though from what I can see of the headlights they are identical to the 05 Passat's. <_<

Thats too blurry to make out anything, in my view.  Damn camera phones :D

It's clear enough to see a Passat-shaped headlight.

I can only tell they will be similar from the picture.

[ifcar]

Isn't that what I said? :blink:

You said they were identical, which is very hard to tell from the picture.  

[ifcar]

I said "from what I can see". And from what I can see, they are.

I hate hardtop convertibles.  At least this Cabrio isn't as girly as the last one.
