Not sure if this has been done before but thought I would start it so please use the poll and also tell us your age in a posting below:

I'm 30 (a young still feel like i'm 18 kind of 30!)

 

[schoolhousefred]

Oh, Oh!

I'm the only one showing in my category 60+. I'm a very recently turned 67. (two days ago) Come on the rest of you "seniors" own up and sign up!

Happy Birthday Schoolhousefred!

I'm chronologically 60 (I'll start driving my new Eos at 61, if it arrives after Oct 4th )

Sixty is the new 40, you know.

 

[schoolhousefred]

Thanks Shorenuf for the Greeting .... I agree that 60 is the new 40, 80 is the new 65! I'm President of a retired Professional's Club with 250 members. (I'm a "baby" in the group) Let me tell you they are a very alert and active group!

 

[shorenuf]

Does anyone think Gavster should add another category (or two?) to his poll?

Think it may be tough once the poll has been started........... probably can't recast prior votes. Think it will still be interesting. Good Boy, Gavin. Gotta keep you busy until your car shows up!

Hi guys, Don't forget what they say....

You are only as old as the woman you're feeling!

Only just..........

Well I've ticked the 40's box, but it's a good job I saw this now, 'cos it would have been the next one up in a few weeks!

Well, only 2 of us have voted in the 60+ category -- I meant he should add, 70+ (the new50), maybe even 80+(the new 60).

You definitely have a point, but hope that poll continues to show majority of owners are in their 30's and 40's. Makes us unique in our age bracket and young at heart! My wife is 15 years younger then me, so maybe I should put car in her name to influence the polls! Only problem is ..... she would take over possession and I would have a problem getting it to drive!

32 when I ordered and picked it up 5 months later. Still feel like I'm in my 20's..........

Well that settles it ........... here's an idea for VW Marketing:

"Get an EOS and take 30% off your age!"

So maybe I should have two and be a kid again!

 

[griffsmom]

I don't have my Eos yet--dealer is still trying to find the exact car i want--but I voted anyway. Chalk another one up for the 40s. Anyone else think VW may have misjudged the true demographic of this car?

 

[lanmarc]

Most new cars (most new anything actually) are marketed to the young 'uns. We older buggers know what we want and generally disregard the marketing hype, or at least think we do. I guess the marketeers take this into account and target the "younger" set.
Anyway, I'm in my 40s and I hope I'm still there when my EOS finally arrives.

Never to Old!

We have had our EOS now for three weeks and love it. I will be 62 in August and my wife 63 the end of the month. We sold our 06'Jetta TDI to buy this car. Just an 19 year old trying to get out of this 60 year old body.

2007 EOS Eismeer Blue w/ Beige Leather - 6 speed (Manual) Sport Package and 17"wheels.

Poll

Good idea this poll. I'm (just) 56 coming on 19!!!

S'funny but when you are a kid you announce that you are 9 & a half & looking forward to 9 and 3 quarters - now I do this in reverse whilst watching my last birthday recede at warp speed & my next approaching even faster !

Just a thought on the demographics, but given the relatively high cost of the EOS (compared to its so called rivals) is it not inevitable that the buyers would tend to be older than people in their 20's thereby reflecting the assumed higher earnings......? ----- I haven't mentioned our obvious appreciation of quality and class...

Half your age plus 7 Gav - that's the rule if you are a gentleman

 

[Gavster]

Hahaha

 

[Gavster]

BTW is anyone surprised that there are no under 20's owners? yet...

Hardly. No need for rear seats if you're under 20!
Would probably choose a Boxster or something if I was under 20 and wanting a convertible!
