Susan and I took our flint NBC into Goodyear, AZ yesterday to have the hatch fixed and get an oil change,

Anyway a salesman got to talking to Susan about the EOS and was disappointed that I did NOT like it! Susan told him it was nice but the only VW she would be interested in was the new SE edition "Blush". He wandered off and came back later to tell her that the dealership got one in Saturday afternoon! His boss ordered it special to put on showroom floor! He brought it around still wrapped in plastic with 7.1 miles on it...! Even w/o being cleaned up it was striking!

Long story short we now have a new BLUSH outside!!!! :D

Tomorrow they will tint it and do the custom pinstriping for it! (paint) Susan is so excited, we plan to take it up to Sedona for a spin later this week.

BTW as a sidenote to all you 2006 Tdi's like me. The salesman told me to keep the Tdi as I could get more for it now with 38K on it then when I purchased it new. As there are no immediate plans to put the Tdi back in the NB. They have a Salsa Red Tdi with 50K on the lot for 21K with the manual tranny and package 1; Rubee is the Tiptronic 6 speed and package 2. Makes me remember why I buy VW's and not Chryslers anymore :-)

You'll have to get some pictures up for us to see. I have only seen one photo of this model so far.

Will try and get some pix after the tint and pin striping is done. The 2nd link above is some good pictures Kirk took at the car show in February. They are good!

Glenn:

Hey, I didn't click on your origiinal links for the show/ad pictures. I noted that only 1500 are to be produced - nice! The red boot really sets off the color theme.

Would still like to see pics of your new machine upclose.

This is a great looking color combo. The exterior in the show pictures looks close to Reflex Silver. I'll have to see one 'in person' to get an idea of the actual shade.

Congratulations! I have a Flint convertible with the red top. I saw my first Blush in person and I have to say I the pictures don't do it justice! It is stunning........maybe my next new beetle?!
Come to Roswell it is going to be a blast I had so much fun in 2002 when I went.
