Skoda Octavia Cabrio (Render)
Four-seat convertibles aren't as
popular as they used to be. Once a highly competitive market segment, only a
few automakers are still in the game at this point. But maybe Skoda should
consider giving it a go.
These latest renderings from our
man Theo Chin envision what an Octavia-based cabriolet would look like. Skoda's
German counterpart is one of those few still making this type of drop-top, its A3
and A5 cabrios competing with the likes of the Mercedes C-Class and E-Class and
BMW 2 Series and 4 Series convertibles.
Down at the more accessible end
of the market, Skoda's parent Volkswagen discontinued the Eos, Toyota the Camry
Solara, and Chrysler the 200 Convertible, leaving the Opel/Buick Cascada as one
of the few entries in the market that isn't based on a muscle car like the
Chevy Camaro or Ford Mustang.
Will Skoda build this, then?
Probably not. It took it this long to launch the Kodiaq as its first proper
SUV, after all. But if it did, it would probably look something like this.
