The new generation Volkswagen Beetle made its debut this April at the New York Auto Show and a cabrio version it is expected to be unveiled at the end of 2012. However, long before a first image of the car has surface on the internet. You will easily notice a design language similar to the coupe version, while, compared to the previous generation the fabric roof folds into the back into a much discreet way. Also, like with the coupe version, the convertible will feature a new design line from the front bumper and front air inlet, straight lines of the bonnet edges and new bi-xenon headlights. Under the hood the cabrio will carry the same engines as the coupe: one diesel and two petrol with power ranging from 138 HP to 197 HP. The engine will be mated with either a standard 6-speed manual or an optional 6-speed DSG. UPDATE 04/12/2012: At the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition – Auto China 2012 for short – Volkswagen plans to unveil a new convertible model, allowing its new-found male buyers to lower the top and let the whole world know they aren’t afraid to drive a “chick’s" car. Now hold your horses before you head out to your local “People’s Car” dealership to reserve your ragtop Bug, as the revealed drop- top Bug is not going to be a production model. It will actually be a convertible version of the E-Bugster, VW’s concept electric Bug. Regardless of the ragtop being on the top of the concept Bug, just teasing the possibility of a convertible Bug is enough to make Bug lovers happy. VW has yet to even hint about a release date for any convertible models, and we have a sneaking suspicion that it will be a late-2012 or early-2013 addition to the lineup, given the fact they are not displaying a production model. .
10 comments: Volkswagen Beetle Cabrio Sorry to say but I’m not so impressed with the Cabrio version of Beetle. It looks better if it is on a sedan only. However, I would still wait for the official details of this one.
 It looks so cute! Beetle Cabrio would surely be stood out on its platform!  Well, I just only hope that they use an impressive engine for it, so car lovers would truly love this cabrio.
 I wish that this convertible version of Beetle will really work but anyway, it is still impressive for me. I just hope that the interior of this Beetle Cabrio is impressive either.
 I’m amazed that the beetle had a convertible version. Well, it is quite impressive either and the angst is still there, and I love the fact that it is a four seater car.
 Well, I would say that there is really not much love in me for the new Beetle. I wish they could just bring back the good old glory days of the old generation Type 1.
 This new Beetle from Volkswagen brings back the passion of what truly a car is. From the design and upto its features, makes an owner that he/she is in a safe place. Volkswagen Beetle Cabrio, simple and outstanding as they say.
 Wow! It wasn’t that long before they have come up with its Cabrio version. However,
I just hope that the heavy roof top of this car would makes the power lesser.
 Well, its been long since Volkswagen plan to release a Cabrio version for the 2012 Beetle. I guess, its only few months before they are going to released this version. However,
I think it would be better if VW will boost the power of this car for 138 hp for a sportscar is kind
of less powerful.
 Aesthetically, its somewhat identical to the production version. Well, I really don’t know if that will be the official look for this car since it will be unveiled before the end of 2012. BTW, I’m afraid that possible buyers will complain on its less powerful figure performance.
