garco ◊ 2008-04-15 12:50	Golf III or IV?
antp ◊ 2008-04-15 14:51	There was no really IV cabriolet: the "IV" was just a III with a IV-like grille Was it really named "Cabriolet"? Usually for the III it is "Cabrio" (which was used alone as name for the US-model) -- Last edit: 2008-04-15 14:54:24
Ingo ◊ 2008-04-15 16:46	Yes, the official name by VW was "Cabriolet"
antp ◊ 2008-04-15 17:56	Until now we always used "Cabrio" for the III, why does this name only come now?
Ingo ◊ 2008-04-15 20:30	It's just an abbreviation, slang.
Ingo ◊ 2008-04-15 20:32	In German slang you say to all convertibles "Cabrio". In old times, up to the 50ies, it was written "Kabriolett" -- Last edit: 2008-04-15 20:32:46
antp ◊ 2008-04-16 00:24	Well, in USA it is really "Cabrio" as model name, though.
garco ◊ 2008-04-16 07:34	In Holland it is a Golf Cabriolet (source: rdw.nl)
antp ◊ 2008-04-16 15:03	Well as you insist I'll rename the Golf Cabrio then...
garco ◊ 2008-04-18 12:18	Well insist....I would not call it that In Holland it is, but I think Golf Cabriolet is better than Golf Cabrio. What about the BMW 3-Series Cabrio -- Last edit: 2008-04-18 12:18:33
antp ◊ 2008-04-18 15:07	For BMW (at least for current 3-series, easier with websites) it depends on the country: FR, CA = cabriolet (even on English CA site) BE, NL, DE = cabrio UK, US = convertible -- Last edit: 2008-04-18 15:07:38
