i love the eos! A+ to VW on that one. Before we accidently sold the last one that was supposed to be in the showroom i got to watch the top go up and down everyday gotta love the only convertible hardtop with a sunroof in mass production i think the reason i love it so much is the eismeer blue!

but also love the new concept scirocco! can't wait til we get one of those in

I still like the hell out of the concept.

I should get a pos pickup truck and one of these if they ever come out. That way I've got all my bases covered.

Odd bttt on this one?

As to the Scirocco/IROC--details were nice, as were the flared fenders and rims, but I was not a fan of the overall shape. Any news on the production version?

The R36 would have been fun had they brought it over. Looks are still kinda pedestrian though, and I don't like the choice of rims at all. Man, I liked the previous generation of Passat so much better than the current one in the styling dept...had I been able to find a W8 4motion I would have very seriously considered buying it...

5 more pics here, including 2 interior pics:

Interior: Very nice, as in all VWs and Audis. Seats fuckin awesome, almost Ferrari'esque.

Exterior body: Nice looking.

Lamps: Blah. Taillights too boring and generic looking. Should have stuck with VW style taillights as on other models. Headlights show no demarcation between them and the grille between them. Looks unfinished. There should be vertical strips of either chrome or body color between the inner ends of the headlamps and the grill. Should have stuck with corporate VW face/grille. How the hell you gonna build a car and not give it the corporate look that EVERY other model has???

I hate those Passat seats, but the rest of the car is very nice.
