Notes

 

As its nickname implies, this model was made available in December 1985, just in time for Christmas.  Once the Christmas season came to an end, Volkswagen nicknamed this model "Lady Charme" beginning in January, 1986.  The car's official model name is, however, Golf Cabrio "CC".

Model Trivia

 

Reportedly, only 750 were produced.

 

Actor Jeremy Irons owned one; his CC was featured in the first UK issue of Volkswagen's Car & Driver magazine.

 

Contrary to popular belief, CC does not stand for "Coco Chanel".  It is believed this myth began due to the Christmas Cabrio advertisement associating the special CC-covered parts to bag/purse designers YSL, Louis Vuitton and MCM; not to mention the relationship between VW and Etienne Aigner in '90/'91. However, nowhere does Volkswagen ever refer to Coco Chanel, and the two logos are quite different.
