Report: 2013 Volkswagen Golf GTI Cabriolet not coming to United States… for now
Pictures and details of the 2013 Volkswagen Golf GTI Cabriolet were revealed late last night prior to the car’s public debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. While it wasn’t confirmed at the time of release whether or not the drop-top GTI will be coming to the United States – we now have official word via Facebook.
“The first VW GTI Cabriolet will be revealed next week at the Geneva Auto Show.” Volkswagen While it won’t be making its way to the States (for now), you can enjoy a first look at the photos. What do you think?”
What do we think? We’re highly disappointed and angry – that’s what we think.
Why are we deprived of hot Euro hatches in the United State? If you happen to have an answer – let us know in the comments section below.
