Spyshots: All-New 2014 VW Beetle Cabriolet

New for the 2014 model year in the US, Volkswagen is finally going to bring the latest car in a line that perhaps has made them an iconic brand. It’s the instantly recognizable Beetle Cabriolet, the new one built on the Golf VI platform and using the latest technologies the Germans have developed.

Today, we bring you the very first spyshots of the 2014 Beetle Cabrio with no camouflage. Both the headlights and the taillights are covered up with plastic foil to make them look like the old Beetle Cabrio, but they’re not fooling anybody. There are also a few fake, sticker turn signals on the bumper covers.

While we’re on the subject, the old Beetle was a girly looking so and so, a car that you’d imagine Hannah Montana or Selena Gomez. The new Beetle Coupe has a bit better at not being girly, but sadly, taking the roof off has compromised its unisex appeal.

We can expect powertrain configurations to be carried over completely from the Beetle coupe to the cabrio, starting with the 1.2 TSI in Europe and going all the way up to the Turbo and TDI in the US. VW might also go ahead and make the R version as well, but so far no prototypes have been spotted testing.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
