Volkswagen Golf Mark VI Cabrio to be unveiled by 2010?

Assuming it gets the green light, Golf Cabrio will compete with such models as the Ford Focus CC and Peugeot 308CC, but unlike so many folding tin-top cabrios, Golf will instead offer a more traditional fabric top - technology shared with its Audi A3 cousin.

Should the roof technology is the same as that of Audi's, the Golf Cabrio will utilise a multi-layer construction for impressive refinement at high speeds. The mechanism will also be fully automated and will be able to be raised or lowered at speeds of up to 30km/h - a process that should take less than 10 seconds. Once down, the roof will sit flush with the bodywork behind the rear seats.
