Many people have the opinion that a Convertible Car is typically for the ladies. The VW site even has an EOS Boutique, hardly helping us chaps defend our right to own a cabriolet.
So - where do you fit in?

Oh puhlease, not another one of these! It's a CARRR...A to B, top up stops the rain getting in (sorry, Paul), sun comes out, top down. As far as I'm aware liking the sun and wind in yer face is not exclusively a female pursuit.
Nothing personal, just bored with these anthropomorphic musings. Enjoy the ride.

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, girls car? Don't think so. I don't think a convertible is a girls car at all. I enjoy having the top down as much as possible.

Totally agree! All my cars have been 'working' cars first and foremost, transports for a] myself and Mrs Smog b] anything else that needs transporting - rubbish to the tip included! The ability to drop the top is a bonus, though one I quite like! Actually, Mrs Smog drops the top far less than I [too windy, too cold!!]
On the Eos Boutique incidentally - I did try to buy a scarf for Mrs S on 'tinternet. Its a US site, but so what, this is a global economy and we're all used to buying things in different parts of the world [eBay anyone?]. Er, apparently not! To ship a scarf [not a gearbox you'll notice!] to the UK they wanted $65 PLUS a $15 handling charge!!! I told 'em where to stick it! Another example of brand values not being carried across all aspects of the VW operation!!!
