Enter the Rumormill: Audi A3 Cabrio pics 'released'

Our Deutschland-obsessed friends over at The German Car Blog have some intriguing, if not mildly suspicious looking shots of what is thought to be the A3 Cabrio.
The above shot looks more like Adobe-enabled fun, while the photo after the jump is from the new issue of AutoBild magazine. Both have striking differences, which make us question the legitimacy of the claims.
According to the GCB, the newest drop-top from Audi will make its debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2007. We're not going to hold our breath, but we can make a compelling business case for the A4-minus-one roadster.

The silver car looks like a re-work of the VW EOS

the pannel gap on the front end looks almost as bad as the new camry...

So the rear passengers sit behind the windscreen?

Even though I love the A4 and convertibles, I won't buy an A4 cabrio because I like to crank my own gears... I love the A3 and would be all over this if it came with a manual tranny!

second shot is the top (what there is of it) of a TT potatochopped onto an A3 body, that's what it looks like to me anyway, and the first one is just rubbish

#6 Not according to Audi's own website. And if you want a quattro, you'll need to buy the S4.

#6 not in the US market
If we get an A3 cab the DSG is ok by me
The next gen A4 should get a 7 speed DSG and the cab with the 2.0T 265 will be a nice 4 banger
