SWEET LOOKIN CAR VW!!!

It also doesn't overlap with Audi in the sense that Audi doesn't have a hardtop cabriolet. It definitely would overlap in the areas of price, but that's been a common occurance lately. Basically I think if the price is reasonable and it looks like that, this will be a much more powerful way to change VW brand perception than the Phaeton.

Anyway, I love it

Because real cars drive on real roads.

O6 Civic Si Coupe

Side note: VW leases typically stink because their resale values are so poor. What is Lexus and Mercedes doing that VW isn't?

I like it, but I hope they install something with power underhood...(hint 2.0 T or 3.2 VR6)

I am sure they will...imagine top down on McArthur Causeway on the way to the beach...

The car looks gorgeous.

How much? when?

FS: Schecter Guitar and 32 snowboard boots. Clicky.

Any word on pricing? there is a current uproar as to what the Concept R should be priced at (and come with)

I think this car base should be $25K (given that it will still have the motorized hardtop, and not to cannabalize Beetle vert sales) and a fully loaded 2.0T (200hp) FWD version (my assumption) should squeeze in under $30K...a possible future R version could come in mid 30K with a 3.2 VR6 underhood and 4-motion(Haldex)...

Damn VW is showing too many nice cars these days, I can't decide...

Here's a link to a few more (though small) photos of the Concept C, to whet our appetites until somebody fixes the link to the VWVortex photo gallery

Those wheels are particularly interesting. Looks like Volkswagen is taking a more adventurous styling approach to their wheels too

I think this could be a homerun, if accompanied by the small concept R sport coupe....however, judging by the rumored release schedules - they need to fix up their line quickly.

If you put a star on the hood or grill, probably get away with it looking like a Mercedes

I was thinking more along the lines of chrysler.. That could be the new Sebring.

It's a nice looking car, but it really seems to lack VW-ness..

Then roof looks like a MB SL/SLK

the trunk looks like a cavalier/sunfire (yuck)

All in all though, it's still nice.

To me, even though I've spent more in maintenance in the last year than payments I would do it again if 1. VWOA got their dealer network to treat their customers in a more civalized manor, 2. If they didn't let a situation that is developing develop into a PR nightmare, and 3. Make a product that isn't going to be breaking all the damed time.

IF VWOA actually reads this I'd honestly be surprised. As far as I am concerned the introduction of this new technology will just lead to more thing that WILL break on the cars. Virtually everything that has brok on my car has been related to the electrical system in someway. For a car that is less than 3 years old and only has 50,000 miles on it to have all of these gremlins is inexcusable.

Like I said before I started to rant...I like the design but I WON'T BE BUYING ONE.

I like my cars like I like my women...exotic, imported and fun to "drive".

If VW were smart, they'd take these styling cues (esp. the front end, the side body crease and tail) and slap it onto the Jetta. That would be one beautiful looking vehicle.

The concept was much nicer, especially when they talked about a 265 hp version of the R32 engine in it.
