For those that like the wind in their hair, it even comes with the GTI engine.

It's nice.
I wish they would go the extra mile and make a four door one. Will sell well.

Are they still making the Eos or does this replace it.

Roof Up - OK

Roof down - not sure

I'd need to see one in the flesh and the right colour

It'll run alongside the Eos and the new Beetle convertible. As well as the A3 cabriolet. Personally, I quite like it and would consider it when the 93 convertible is due for replacement in a couple of years. As long, of course, as it's cheaper than the Eos which has crept up to £25k territory.
The missus is adamant she wants another cabriolet and, therefore, wants to consider this Gold Cab but my point is quite clear. Why would I spend £25k on a VW when I could get another 93, or a year old 3 series for that money? The A3 cab is a joke for that money (and I hate Audis anyway) but the Saab and BMW are more prestigious for the money than any VW. The Eos with the TFSi 210 engine as an example is knocking £28k once you've stuck metallic paint on. And this, as I've said countless times before is VW's problem. They're charging prestige money, yet it's "just a VW".
So pricing on this Golf cab will be very important. And will ultimately determine whether I stay with VW and buy one or look elsewhere.

The 2011 EOS is ever so slightly less girly  :smiley: If you squint a bit or maybe squashed the image you could almost imagine it was a topless Scirocco.... or not  :drool:

The EOS is quite bucksome and is aesthetically challenged IMO. VW should dump it, ASAP.

Red: I've changed my mind and I am with you. Just seen pictures of this car with its hood down. Lordy me, it is PIG UGLY. :sick: :sick: :sick:

Apologies to any EOS owners with another U-turn from me: It is a much, much better looking car than the Mk6 Cabriolet.  :embarassed:

HUMBLE PIE. :embarassed:
