VW Eos: Seducing!

AutoWeek made a nice review of the VW Eos which made them lusting for more.

We might be directionally challenged, but all is not lost considering we’re wandering the countryside outside Athens, enjoying the smoggy sunshine in our 2007 Volkswagen Eos, a new two-door, four-seat, hardtop convertible.

Built from parts of the Passat and Golf/Jetta, Eos will be available in the United States with a 2.0-liter, 200-hp, 206-lb-ft turbocharged four or an optional 3.2-liter, 250-hp, 236-lb-ft V6. We’re driving the silky turbo with the standard six-speed manual; a six-speed Direct Sequential Gear- box is an option with the four and standard on the V6 model.

VW won’t actually let you buy an Eos (starting at $28,620) and take it home until this fall, but the automaker hopes a little thing like an impending winter snowstorm won’t make buyers put off a purchase decision on a convertible until next spring. Just leave the five-piece top up and think of it as a Scirocco.
