Owners waiting for Eos delivery

[de7158]

After seeing photos of all the combinations of external and internal colours in the Eos, there is not a dud one amongst them.

IMHO the Eos looks sharp in any combination. Always amused to see a thread asking which colour to buy. The bigger the forum, the more varied the answer.

As yet i haven't found one owner unhappy with their choice of colour. Usually only talk about those things after one sells their car.

Wheel selection seems to make a particular colour stand out from the crowd.

Shame we in Aus miss that whole NA...15 inch.....steel rim....snow season....tyre thing. Now that would stand out.

Still waiting for mine
From shipping website:
Discharged Sat 23 June 2007
Delivered Wed 27 June 2007 (just got to find out what that means...as dealer still doesn't have it yet....11 days after discharge )

I have only now discovered that there is an Aussie Eos site.
I ordered my car in May and it is well on it's way here. Travelling on the Talia from Europe on time, it left Freemantle a day ahead of shedule and reaches Melbourne on the 11th of Sept. I have been told it takes a few weeks to get from Melbourne to Adelaide where I can collect it.

It will be a White car with Red interior. 2.0T DSG, Bluetooth and a few minor trim protection add-ons. I have heard that the colour combination is rare???
I am trading my Jaguar XJ8 Sport of 10 years and I'm really looking forward to the new car.

Hey there Fred

Welcome to our humble corner of cyber space. Congrats on the car I would say that is a rare spec. Let us know what you think when you get your hands on it

Welcome to VWwA Fred

So you live in Adelaide ? (username should have been adeleos [joke as we have a sydeos, melbeos and a briseos )].

and nice colour combo

[Fred Nerk]

Hi all and Thanks for the welcome.

I actually live near Adelaide in the hills. A little town called Kersbrook (too small for any traffic lights but big enough for a Pub and a general store.)

I think Kersbrookeos is a bit clumsy Perhaps Kerseos or Keos (with a silent "K")

Fred, it's nice to have you with us at VWwA.

White with red nappa interior sounds like an outstanding combination. When are you expecting delivery? We'll give you a couple of hours after delivery to drive around but then you need to report back to this site with pictures..... please.

I know you'll enjoy you Eos.

I have been waiting (patiently) since the order was placed in May. The car arrived in Melbourne on the 11th of September. The last week has been the longest, but the car might get here in the next week or two. Come on, you guys in Melbourne, "Hand it over"

[Fred Nerk]

My Eos was ready for me to pick up today, but there were two emergencies at work and I could not get to the dealer's.

I rang the dealer to defer the appointment 'til tommorow morning. She had not yet decided to have the car waiting for me with the roof up or down. It seems some people have the "big stuff" to worry about.

Congrats....it's a pain surviving the wait...."the longest hour is just before the dawn".

Dealer had top down for our handover.....it's a convertible
