Saw it on my way home today. I swear the badge said “Eos” but wikipedia tells me it was only a cabriolet, even in Europe. It’s down the street from an international British school, so I guess that explains how it got to the states.

That is a Latin American market Volkswagen Gol.

The British international school was quite the red herring then.

Indeed it is the red herring.
It probably has Mexican plates.

I don’t know where you live, but I was just in Mexico City and based on that experience this must have been a hell of a long Uber ride.
The fare was probably about $35.

That is a current VW Gol, basically a cheaper Polo, most likely had a Mexican plate:
This is the 3rd gen, the 1st gen was sold in the US as the VW Fox.

A random combination of every single part in the VW part bin?

I think it’s someone visiting since I’m just outside Houston. I saw a Nissan March (Micra) in my neighborhood the other day.

VW Gol. Very popular here in Brazil. Not a big fan, not due to the car itself (which is mediocre, but average in its class), but for what it represents: it’s existence is due to the fact that the Polo is too expensive for the Brazilian market. So we get a older, cheaper built, unsafe car
