antp ◊ 2006-09-03 19:53	Or just custom-made convertible
tonkatracker ◊ 2006-09-03 19:55	Prob more like a prototype than a concept i guess. the cabrio came out in 2001

ahight ◊ 2007-11-02 20:26	yep. this one looks like it just has the roof cut off with a small cover added. the other looks to be a functioning convertible - at least that's what it looked like when i watched the movie.

RedBoy9199 ◊ 2017-09-23 20:14	The car in this movie is a custom built 1998 only New Beetle as a convertible. That's not a concept car and not a pre-production model. -- Last edit: 2017-09-23 20:21:37
