Have VW finally lost the plot?

Look at the price of this. Hilarious!!! I predict they'll sell precisely none of them.

I reckon they'll sell every one they make, and there will be a 5 month + waiting list.
Far better looking than the Aldi A3 Convertible...and you see plenty of those about.

By way of comparison an Aldi TT 210 starts at £27k. An ALdi A3 with the same engine can be had for £25k

BMW 125 cabriolet for similar money?

Plus some beautiful nearly new 3 series convertibles at that money and less.

I seriously cannot think of one single reason that would persuade e to spend £30k on that car. Sheer madness!!!

Sorry - Aldi TT Roadster starts at £29k. I looked up the Coupe by mistake.

Still cheaper though.
