The T-Roc convertible has been confirmed. This is the timeline were stuck in.

“Volkswagen is evolving into an SUV brand. The T-Roc is already setting new standards in the compact SUV segment. With the cabriolet based on the T-Roc, we will be adding a highly emotional model to the range”, said Herbert Diess, VW brand CEO.

With this news we mourn the passing of the Eos.

I should be happy I bought the Solstice... never letting that car go.

The odds a car company (besides Mazda) makes a small convertible are currently at:

Disgust is an emotion, good point.

That makes the Murano crosscabriolet a precursor. Sadly

First thing I thought of. Basically the same market, just 20-something years later. All the way down to the chrom windshield trim.

Ahead of its time and misunderstood.

CEO stands for Chief Emotional Officer, we all know that.

I’m fighting this sudden urge to go out and use my kid’s college money to buy a new Miata. Mazda needs to be supported.

You’re too kind.

I think this is more fitting.

This really needs the Bitch Basket hoop.

A little sad I didn’t give Mazda my consumer dollars for a Miata. But then again $22.5 is easier to swallow than $29k

I know. I really wanted a Mazda to be my new car. They just didn’t make the right car for me.

There’s a healthy supply of previous-year Miatas that dealers are trying to dump - I bought my Club with the performance goodies (LSD & Bilsteins) for about 24k.

I guess this means I ought to go find a lift kit for my Miata...

Except I would actually drive that Audi.

I swear I couldn’t find a manual club when I was looking, tho summer probably wasn’t the best time.

Still happy about the deal I got though. Only had 11k miles on it and it was CPO, so I have a 100k mile drivetrain warranty.

Someone has to be the first to lift an ND.
