VW Debuts Eos Highway 1 Concept
Over the weekend Volkswagen unveiled a stylized version of its upcoming Eos convertible called the Highway 1 Concept. Named after the famed California road, the Eos Highway 1 isn’t the normal futuristic concept car we’re used to seeing at major auto shows; this is basically the same Eos that will go on sale in October, but with a few special upgrades.
Most noticeable to the casual observer are the two-tone interior and large 20-inch wheels. The Highway 1 also sports a subtle spoiler off the trunk and a lowered suspension to improve handling. We’re guessing this “concept” is more of a marketing study to see if shoppers would actually consider any of these options on a future trim offering. Personally, we’d skip the wheels and go with the flashy interior.

David, do a google search for VW tiguan, the new small suv to debut in 2009 as an ,08.
The name isn't the best and it's a bit late to the X3 size party but it looks interesting.
Already on it Rick! I agree I think the Scirocco and the Tiguan will liven up the line at least in design. Don't get me wrong though, the regular Eos will be a big seller for them too.

Very good web site, great work and thank you for your service.M
have you seen the tv commercial on the air in the UK with all the oversize objects like coffee pots and wind chimes - very cool - nice track too by a band called The Dallas Guild. I found it here - http://www.blip.tv/file/49601
Those big wagon wheels look preddy cool. Not that bad... really... in a full-out extra-loud shouting sort of way. The gackish two-toned interior, however, would look a whole lot lot better if... it... were all in black.
