Was that actually in the parking lot when I saw you on Thursday? And I missed it?!

Said I had something to show off...

Ooh. I didn't hear that in the hubbub and confusion.

Well. We'll figure something out soon.

What model is that ? Shiny!

Congrats!

2007 Volkswagon Eos 2.0T w/DSG and luxury package. The color is Eismeer Blue with "Cornsilk" (light tan) leather interior.

This one is identical to mine:

...and a nice review:

I don't get the impression that they're very common; I still haven't seen another one on the road.

I saw a few of these in Berlin last winter and I wondered WTF they were. I thought it was some Europe-only hardtop stepbrother of the Audi TT. Good news though that VW started fresh with a new drivetrain and body, though. They've been limping along with a chopped-up A1 convertible model since I was in grade school. I also like the idea of a retractable hardtop with a sunroof.

I haven't seen one out here, but Colorado law specifies you have to drive a Subaru product or an SUV, so I probably won't any time soon.

I think they're more popular in Europe (which got them ahead of the US). If you graze YouTube, most of the videos are from there.
