I know we have a few very connected VW people here, so I thought I'd ask...

Since the newest version of the New Beetle Convertible will not have the mighty 1.8t engine, I was wondering just how rare this engine is in verts. The older body style convertibles were only available in '03 and '04 - most of these were 2-slow engines.

Does anyone know how to find out EXACTLY how many 1.8t convertibles made it to the U.S.? 5-speed manual transmissions were even more rare!

Can someone find out:
a.) How many 1.8t verts in U.S. market?
b.) How many 1.8t 5-speed manual transmission verts in U.S. market?



LOL... I just realized the irony of my sig...

... er... what about the '05's??

Sorry... yes... the new body style is officially '06... my mistake!

If you were hoping or wondering whether they would be a rare/collectors item... with the way these things depreciate when you drive them off the lot I don't think there's gonna be a market.

I'm not necessarily hoping anything... I'm just curious.

Does anyone have an answer or know where I can get an answer?

First and last year for Tornado Red (on NBC)
Last year for "old" body
No options (aside from 17" alloys and windblock)

I think most NBCs came in with most of the options, as well as Tiptronics...
