Audi couldnt keep up with demand the robots couldnt make the shells quick enuff.

So Audi rang round all the old retired welders and got them back in to handbuild the cabriolets.

then they moved production to Karmann.

Default Man, those cars just get better looking each time I see one.

I would buy one of those in a heart beat if it came with a 1.8t.

heck...I'll probably pick one up as my next car (unless I hit the lottery ;-)

Default oh yeah.

plus it looks quite low. Most of the pics I see of the cabriolet look lower than normal. I like that.

very aggressive front end. I just wonder what the space inside is like. Also wondering how loud it is with the top on. Those would be the deciding factors for me when it came to buying one.
