Spy Shot: Volkswagen Concept-C (2006)

[benyl]

The production car will be unveiled in a few weeks in Frankfurt, and its name formally announced (it’s not going to be called Golf), but in the meantime, final testing of Volkswagen’s Golf-based coupe-cabriolet is underway. This will be larger than earlier Golf cabriolets, with a generously-sized boot despite its folding roof – which, as we can see from these pictures, is constructed from glass panels, giving the car a unique selling point compared to the conventionally metal-roofed Astra TwinTop, 307CC and Megane CC. Expect engines including the 2.0 FSI, the 200bhp turbocharged TFSI and the 3.2V6, as well as a high-powered diesel, probably a version of the 2.0 TDI PD engine.

[big mooe]

THAT'S UGLY:werd:

[dmtx]

I am not that big fan of this one.... I'd still take the Golf body over this...

[djayz]

all the new cars are starting to look uglier and uglier

[Obscura]

for some reason "Volvo" came to mind...:dunno:

[crazydriver]

front looks good.. the back.. well it should be sent back for more designing:thumbsdow

[toyboy88]

[A2VR6]

This concept has been around forever. I personally really like it
and am happy seeing it come into production. I'm just curious as
to the price on it, I've heard some serious $$$$$

[KLCC]

WTF are they thinking...the rear are just so freaking ugly.....

[izzoblitzo]

gross!! the back end is too long!!

[bundi]

^^
I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that it's a convertable.

[Kona9]

Just like the 350Z convertable....it looks best with the top down!!

[C4S]

It seems not bad .. if that is from the golf .. probaby will be another nice Cab in the $30G range ... :)

[EstoMax]

i think u guys are blind.. this is a masked version, the rear tails go into the trunk u can see the outline of them, so itll look a lot better, and front is completely masked off.. it doesnt seem TOO far off from the concept :)

[Mr. Burns]

This car will be going into production shortly. It will be called the VW Eos. It will likely cost close to 40 g's.
