Possibly the next Golf/Jetta Cabrio:



The top (just like the MINI Cabrio, can be used as a sunroof).

From what I understand the cabrio is going to be a bit bigger than the Jetta V (midway between the Jetta and the Passat).

I don't like the crease that runs from the front wheel well to the rear of the car. It doesn't seem to relate to anything else (except BMWs). It looks especially awkward with respect to the line where the trunk lid meets the rear quarter panel.

I think they relate nicely well with VW Karmann Ghia Type 3s of old:

the huge difference in execution between the character line of the Type 3 and the Concept C is that the Karmann-Ghia's line is parallel to the ground, whereas the Concept C's line is cartoonishly raked; it reminds me of the rake of the current Neon, which is embarrasingly over-done on the "big-booty disorder"

Yeah, that character line is bad. I think it was the work of Chris Bangle.
