Retractable Hardtops
Thats a VW tradition to use weird names: Jetta? Passat? Touareg? New Beetle? Volkswagen? and now Eos.

What Car is This?
I think this design still looks very current, you add a big chrome grill on that and you are in the game baby.

The automobile in 21st century
I want whatever the market and my wallet will withstand. Meaning no matter what, I want a car or truck that is exciting to look at, sit in and drive. Of course I want rwd, V8 power, pillarless hardtop coupe with excellent handling characteristics and white interior. Is that too much to ask?

Retractable Hardtops
Can't find what platform this car is based on. One of the engines it will be using is the Passat VR6. And the official name is 'Eos'.....Greek God of the Dawn. And I hope your sister buys the Pontiac G6 retractable. Concept:

If GM does bring back the Camaro...
I would buy a new Camaro and especially would if they bring it out in convertible as well.

Buick
Here's a handsome '63 Wildcat. This year is not talked about much and there don't seem to be alot of them around. I like it.

Buick
Yes, the white interior always said 'special' to me....it could make ordinary cars look extraodinary. And yes, please GM bring back red interiors. Richly colored interiors give a sense of luxury. You don't even need leather. Even the dash and steering wheel are white in this '62 Wildcat. It's one of my favorite interiors, love the consul and dash, the deepdish wheel....

Automotive Museums
I have been to a great transportation museum in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada. It's unexpected in this smaller city, but it is a worldclass facility. It has a streetscape diarama with the vehicles in place. Even has a 'Drive-in Theatre' with an old movie playing and some cars set up in the scene. It also has a one of a kind Duesenberg Model J. Great automotive gift shop as well. They also have operating vintage carnival rides outside. This museum's collection is massive, there are warehouses and fields full of machinery. It also has an onsite restoration garage and you can watch from a windowed lounge. They have numerous projects on the go at any given time, spotless shop. The museum also has an extensive library of transportation books only. It is worth the trip there if ever in the Calgary or Edmonton areas...it's inbetween those two cities. There is also an aviatiion museum on the site. http://www.cd.gov.ab.ca/enjoying_alberta/m...about/index.asp

Automotive Museums
AAS, I have always wanted to go to that museum. Do they rotate their collection?....so when one goes there, it's usually something different each time?

Can Martha Stewart help sell Buicks?
I am a huge Buick fan, but to be honest they haven't anything with much dynamic energy or excitement....I can't see any buzz like there was around the Solstice.

Went dealer hopping tonight
There's a CTS in the background of one of the Malibu shots. Is it two-toned or is that an optical illusion? I also think interior designers should consider what their interior colors look like when viewed from the outside, through these greenish tinted windows. That Malibu interior looks ghostly.

Get the GTP version and it can't help but look good.
