German coachbuilder Karmann could be on the block soon. The company, a longtime supplier to German automakers, has been having trouble getting contracts lately. The family that owns the company is reportedly considering all options, and some talks with potential buyers have already taken place. No decision about whom to sell to has been made yet, but within a month Karmann may decide which suitor's offer to accept. The convertible roof business is going well for Karmann, but deals to assemble vehicles for automakers are way down, threatening the painting and assembly operations. Karmann has already cut 500 jobs from its German workforce of 5,000, and another 1,000 are slated for elimination. Perhaps a buyer will swoop in and snap up Bertone and Karmann? Mr. Tata, you listening?

“What is black and white and red everywhere? ” Why, it is sports shirt GTI Cabrio de Karmann naturally. In fact this punchline is more often “a zebra faded with the sun,” but this adapts too. The single white sports shirt carries the rims black and balance, accentuated with a redtop and climaxes at the two ends. Probably most famous for a special edition much older of VW, Karmann is really “a full-service-vehicle-supplier. ” They managed to go up with a very nice sporting vagrant this time, as well. We are not really sure if it will reach the production, and it is probably sure of saying that it would not look at exactly like this one if he.
