The market for convertibles is definitely in the midst of a major decline, but that isn’t stopping Volkswagen from looking ahead. An unnamed source says that the next-gen Golf could get a partially open-top Targa model that was likely previewed in concept form on the 2014 Volkswagen T-Roc Concept (shown above).
Although that Geneva concept was a high-riding crossover model, it gave us a good look at an innovative Targa roof not unlike what was used on the Honda del Sol, with a removable center roof section that can be stored in the cargo area. The article says that a Golf Targa is “more than just an idea,” but there is no telling if VW actually plans on bringing such a model to fruition. One interesting aspect of this report is that it says a Golf Targa model would be in addition to a next-gen Golf Cabrio.
The seventh-gen Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in the U.S. last year, but it has been in production in other markets for a couple of years now, meaning that a Golf VIII is just around the corner. At this point, though, there’s no telling whether VW has any plans to bring the next-gen Golf Cabrio or this rumored Golf Targa to the U.S.
