Surely there are enough Canadian owners that more than one post a year can appear in this forum? Or are we all behind the wheel, happily enjoying our ride?

To what are you referring?

Although you must admit, Canada is not known as the Convertible Capital of the World. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

...just noticed the dates on some of the Canadian posts.

Nope! Cannuks cannot claim that title (Convertible...), but I daresay we can lay claim to most top-down kilometres below 0℃! -- if the sun shines, then it's warm enough!

Touch'e.

I'll chime in. Just not too much Canada-specific stuff to talk about that doesn't fit in the other forum topics I guess!

I am guessing from reading other forums that more men are following car forums, since EOS seem to be more popular with women, at least in the Ottawa area not so many Canadian owners are posting... My two cents.

I have been lurking around the eos forum for a while. I purchased a 2012 eos demo with 3K on the clock in May of 2013. Comfort model with performance package and black on black. I absolutely did not want another black car and I did not want a black interior. But at 10K under list I could not refuse.

I would like to thank other forum members for their information about the car. I bought the krytox and read many of the posts to relieve my cognitive dissonance. I have not seen anyone draw this comparison, maybe they are too young, but I think of the eos as a vw kharman ghia. A vw with a more attractive and conventional skin. It would be great car as a coupe with a large sunroof but it is outstanding as a convertible. I think of it as the original audi TT, I drove around Shannonville racetrack as a Driver for a Day, and wanted but could not afford.

I see they can go for over 50K now and I say are they nuts. But the people who lease it just care about the payment. I bought mine for the long term and hope to keep it for many years.

Cheers
