Default New Golf Cab

Got a new Golf Cabriolet in white parked out front.
What do they say, it's like a golf but not a golf. Yep they are about right.. The thing is huge!

I don't really see the point in it, VW are putting it head to head with their own Eos (unless they're killing it off soon, I don't know) and the inevitable new New Beetle Cabriolet

It looks boring, and I bet it's hideous with the roof up

It's replaced the Eeyore because it was a miserable disaster.

The Sickoro isn't gonna be replaced either, it seems. Sort of a shame, really; the R looked promising.

Golf Cabriolets have always looked mundane; isn't that part of the appeal?

There's a good reason ragtops look hideous with the soft top up .... it's meant to be DOWN

The Germans used to call them 'strawberry baskets' which is highly apt.
