VW Eos: Letting the top down

Here's a review of the VW Eos from New Zealand.

Says VW New Zealand general manager Dean Sheed: "We expect the Eos to help give the Volkswagen brand a great start to the new year, after what has already been a record-breaking 2006."

Like the goddess, the Eos car is a stand-alone product. But it shares it modified chassis, engines and running gear with the hatchback Golf and Passat sedan.

The entry-level Eos costs $53,990 and uses the turbocharged, direct-injection 2-litre engine from the Golf GTi. The premium model is priced at $61,990 and is powered by the 3.2-litre V6 from the Golf R32. Both engines drive the front wheels through a six-speed sequential direct shift gearbox.
