:lol: I wonder if i can fit my 70-200 IS on it. Would the AF be even faster? 0-60 in 5 seconds?

[felix21685]

:) kinda odd how they named it eos..
do you know if eos is a wind name?

i believe golf,sharan,and others are all wind names.not sure though..

[Rigrider]

Wonder how long till they start releasing "L" accesorries for it! :D

L8r,

[farrukh]

Canon influence :cool:

[felix21685]

so im guessing all of the vw names have to do with winds..
the bora which is the second to latest jetta is called the bora in europe


"But in Europe where the Jetta is called the Bora (A violent, cold, northeasterly winter wind on the Adriatic Sea"

EOS the greek goddess also known as Dawn.Always seemingly in love, in this case with my money !!

[sixshot]

Now it needs a POTN bumper sticker!

Would the AF be even faster? 0-60 in 5 seconds?

Definitely not with only 250 hp...

Best regards,

wait till it has white tyres... with red stripe offcourse

Interesting. . .

Scirocco is a hot, North African wind.

This is interesting on the VW front as well - They have long had a policy (at least in the USA) of only offering one convertible at a time. Back in the day, the Beetle convertible and the Karmann Ghia convertible was an exception. When the Golf convertible came out, it was the one, and since that time there was only one VW convertible model available at any one time. Now it is the New Beetle - I wonder if this replaces it or is an addition? I have also heard of a roadster under development.

So, to tie in the Canon connection, they should go a little reto and get the tires with the red stripe sidewalls (Tiger Paws?) and, of course, large air intake apertures on the hood. And a collaboration with Mazda would permit using the Zoom, Zoom, Zoom advertising.

Ooh, ooh - And tying it all together, with an existing model named Golf, this one should revive an old Canon model name - EOS 10S (tennis) :o

I better get outa here now. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Have Fun,

Maserati named their cars after winds. VW have used them as well.

[DxHatchback]

that's a really nice looking VW

i wish it was full hardtop though

[Andy_T]

What would be the advantages?
The collapsing roof is supposed to be as stable as a hardtop ... and it even has a sunroof :shock:

Best regards,

[felix21685]

:) kinda odd how they named it eos..
do you know if eos is a wind name?

Nope... golf is a game played by adult men chasing little white balls in Germany as well ;) , and VW's smaller car is called the "Polo" which is a game played by wealthy adult men chasing larger white balls while on horses :lol:

[JDrex05]

Can't forget about the VW "Thing"

[CyberDyneSystems]

... damn way out of my price range I'm sure.. I just HAVE to have a car called EOS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nation]

surprising that canon hasn't put a trademark on the EOS name :rolleyes:

[ShotByTom]

Definitely not with only 250 hp...

Best regards,
Andy

Not with the standard 250hp, but if you get the USM motor it will not only go faster, but much quieter!:)

[Chazs]

Super Charged EOS

[felix21685]

[R32Bum]

Ehh, if it ever makes it to the US it will sit an inch higher and it won't have HIDs.

PS
<----R32Bum R32 is pretty much the best VW ever (and I should know, I have had 9 VWs)

[felix21685]

the r32 is a pretty mean machine

do you know where they got the name r32?

[Chazs]

do you know where they got the name r32?

I think it's a 3.2 litre engine.

[Bruce Hamilton]
