Volkswagen is bringing out an brand new version of an old favorite - the Golf Convertible. VW was the first to create an open-top vehicle for the masses, and the car proved a big hit in the 1980s.

The new model is supposed to replicate its success. While the new convertible lacks the integrated roll bar of the original, it does boast a rollover protection system which deploys instantly when required. And the Golf Convertible's fully automatic soft-top opens in just 9 seconds - even while the vehicle is in motion, provided that the car is not going more than 30 kilometers per hour.
