Unless they make it themselves - sorta like Ford Five Hundreds based on Volvo S80's. GTI engine in a Boxster chassis - I'll take it.

Both this roadster and the 4 door "coupe" will be more expensive than a fully loaded Passat which tops out around 40K.

Come on VW, don't drop the ball on this one! I agree with the first few posters, this is a nice roadster, but what I really can’t wait to see in my garage is the new GX3.

This would be cool, but the GX-3 would be perfect. I'd make the GX-3 my toy car AND daily driver, making the family sedan a car just for family trips. Agreed.

VW needs to get away from overwieght luxo barges (even the new GTI weighs in at 3,300 lbs) and make some lightwieght drivers cars. Second on the GX3.
