Default A3 Cabrio due in spring

I only read about this today. Was imagining how it might look and after a quick google...

They totally missed the "exciting" factor IYAM. How dull...



It is screaming SAAB to me... :yawn:


<edit>

GULP! check out the Porsche Panamera



It is like something out of the Wacky Races! Catch the pigeon, catch the pigeon! Dick Dastardly would love it

Really do not like 4 seat convertibles, especially small ones where the back seats are a complete waste of time.

At least Vauxhall got it right with the Tigra and only put two seats in it.

I tend to agree - but this is fabulous and I would swap the S in an instant for a good one.

Looks shite IMO, like any other hatchback that's 'converted'. Always makes me chuckle when I see old 80s/90s covertibles like 205s, Astras and XR3is with manky soft-tops that are an afterthought to the shape of the original...only nice looking one I can think of is the 306 but that was completely different to the standard hatchback...
