Volkswagen Jetta GLS cabriolet by Karmann (c1980) a prototype convertible first generation Jetta. VW felt an open Jetta would present in-house competition for the Golf cabriolet so it remained a one-off.

@pip-bip Looks like a poor mans BMW Convertible.

Agree, to my eyes because the line between the handle and the top sweeps up rather than being flat as it was in the normal Jetta. It feels like a hofmeister kink emulation, even though E21 and E30 cabriolets lacked anything like it with top down.

@pip-bip I like it. I am a particular fan of that generation of Jetta, and while I owned a Fox and a Golf in my lifetime, I think it looks a bit better than the Golf cabrio.

@krustywantout looks saabish to me
