Couldn't resist - the most expensive EOS yet?

VERY clever.... :-)
Ya, another little convertible with no trunk. Heck the top is in there.
Wonder
where you put two suitcases or golf clubs? Answer, you can't. Great car
for
driving to school, you can put your bag on the passenger seat. Or maybe
for
going out on a date.
There must be a market for these, but who buys them? Spoiled rich kids
going to
college? Divorced people as a second car?
What's the clever part?
Actually, according to the road tests, the EOS retains quite a bit of trunk
space, 7.2 cu. ft., to be precise. Much better than the Pontiac G6
equivalent that drops to 2.2 cu. ft. See this:

But the market for VW convertibles has always been
spoiled-only-slightly-less-than-rich kids going to college.
The clever part, as with any folding hardtop, is the added security and
decreased wind noise as compared to a traditional soft top,
