Second, there's a VW Golf here in Toronto, Canada, with the same paint job as the one on your street. I always thought that the one here was some sort of "custom" job, but now I wonder. Are there others like that in Europe that you've seen?
a lot. VW had an ad campaign a dozen years ago where they used this paint job to show you could order this car in lots of custom colors. I met a few people saying 'if they would make it this colorful I'd buy it', and there must been a lot more since after some time they offered the colorful version.
The paint job even got a name: Polo Harlekin.
It's quite common here, there used to be a fan site for it but it's down right now due to hacking or something.
