Thanks for your best wishes on the Eos, we are really looking forward to it.

Mate there is absolutely no chance 80% of golfs are diesel.

I don't care whether he was blowing you while he told you - He's either misinformed or plain lying.

I think you will find it's just FWD guys. There is precious little room in the back with the roof tucked away for any of the hardware required to make the EOS 4WD. The V6 even has 2 batteries located there in stead of under the bonnet further reducing the rear storage capacity. :(

An R32 eos? Who wouldn't want that :D In any guise its a fantastic car, a much better alternative to some of the other CC's out there.

After taking delivery of our new Eos last month we have now purchased a Car Bra as shown in attached photos.

For those of you not resident in the Land of Oz these "Bras" are used when travelling on the country roads to protect to front of the car from stone chips, squashed insects, tar splashes and the like. They are tailormade for individual models from high quality vinyl with a cotton flock backing to protect the paintwork.

They attach in minutes using velcro patches under the bonnet (hood in US speak) and bottom spoiler as well as vinyl covered metal corner brackets around the wheel arches

never seen a white one before! looks pretty snazzy. where did you get it and how much for?

Well Mischa I bought it from the dealer who gave me all that "bull sh.t" info about diesel sales etc .... don't you remember ???

Anyway the dealer's name is Lennock Motors Canberra with whom I have had previous good dealings through the purchase of a Nissan Pathfinder Ti a couple of years ago. They are very client focused.

I got a reasonable discount, given the supply situation of the Eos, plus a set of the custom Eos accessory luggage cases thrown in as freebies. I am satisfied with the deal.

We had originally ordered a Silver car with the deep red nappa leather, but a petrol version arrived instead of the TDI DSG that we had specified. So when the white TDi DSG with the cornsilk leather with electric seat controls (not on the silver order) we took the white one for the same price with the same original discount and the luggage.
