Affectionately dubbed the “chick car,” the Cabrio was at one point one of the most popular convertibles on the road. But after the 1990s and the fact that most of these cars are off of the road now, the love has depleted. The Cabrio was the trouble-free convertible model that was sold by VW until 2005. The interior of the Cabrio was a carbon copy of the Golf, and this was both good and bad. As more convertibles entered the market, the Cabrio was often overshadowed and VW didn’t do very much to incite interest in the car.

Although the Cabrio was massively popular during the 1990s for the most part these cars have been long since forgotten. The cutesy little convertibles of the nineties were an interesting part of the automotive market but buyers have since moved on. Few cars stand out like the Cabrio as a failed piece of automotive history, and nowadays you seldom see one on the road anymore.
