RE: Scirocco "Carman" series?
Generally speaking all VW ( & maybe audi?) convertibles were built by Karmann - not sure if they still are. Drop-tops are one of their specialties. One of their latest design studies is aimed at a golf sized platform.

Karmann was/is a coachbuilder - kind of like Fisher used to build bodies for
GM cars, Karmann built bodies for a lot of the cooler VWs. The Karmann Ghia
was built by them using VW parts/assemblies (hence the name - the other part
of the name comes from the Italian design house Ghia), and if I'm not
mistaken, all the Bug 'verts were built by them with the exception of the
really rare stuff like the Hebmu:ller (sorry - don't know how to get the
umlaut on top of the u). Didn't they also build the Rabbit convertibles,
etc.? They didn't by any chance build Corrados as well, did they?

85 Scirocco Carman series, runs great $2100/bo (209) 524-2105
I'm thinking that it's probably "Kharman" (or however it's spelled), but
I'm curious as to what it is.
