They made the Mégane II CC’s folding glass roof. Shame to see them go.

As a VW Corrado owner (designed and built by Karmann!) I've been fortunate enough to visit Karmann in Osnabruck a number of times over the years with German speaking friends who have contacts within Karmann.. all the folks we met (who worked on cars like the Scirocco and the Corrado) were so passionate about them and the company they work(ed) for. We heard so many great stories about the relationship between VW & Karmann, etc.
Karmann will continue to exist making roof systems but certainly as that company which owned their enormous plant in Osnabruck they are no more. It's really, really tragic.

Wow, I didn't even know they where in existence, I think the Karmann ghia is one of the best looking VW of all time, I only wish it was front engine-rear wheel drive.
