Last year I remember reading that Volkswagen was stopping production of the Cabriolet convertible. The story was that VW was going to focus on re-building the Beetle with a convertible option. On my way into work today, I finally saw one. Cool! I think they are destined to be for 2003 what the Miata was in 1989. I must admit, though, they're a bit pricey when you consider that in the end it's still just a Beetle.
