Volkswagen Announces Pricing of the All-New Volkswagen EOS Convertible

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced pricing for its all-new, 2007 Eos convertible, arriving in showrooms this fall. This four-seater features a revolutionary three-panel roof that transforms a hardtop coupe roof with an integrated sunroof, to an open convertible. Volkswagen will offer the Eos with two engines: an award-winning 2.0 liter turbo, 200 horsepower, four cylinder starting at $27,990 and a 3.2 liter, 250 horsepower version of Volkswagen’s narrow angle V6 starting at $36,850.


In addition to the innovative CSC (coupe-sunroof-convertible) roof, the Eos includes high-quality standard features such as Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP), safety-optimized front headrests, front airbags and specially developed front side head-thorax airbags; 16-inch alloy wheels (17-inch standard on the V6 model), air conditioning system, fog lights, panoramic sunroof, power windows, and cruise control.

The dimensions of the Eos enhance the vehicle’s dynamics. Together with its length and height, the vehicle’s width lends the Eos a particularly powerful appearance and contributes to the car’s extraordinarily agile and safe handling characteristics. Its leading-edge roof engineering includes multi-folding components with fully automatic operation. The result is pure driving enjoyment regardless of whether the roof is up or down.

The Eos is available with an even more impressive lineup of options, including a double clutch (DSG™) 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic®, steering wheel, shift knob and brake handle each wrapped in leather, automatic headlights, dual-zone Climatronic™ climate control, 12-way power driver seat, heated front seats and washer nozzles, windblocker, center armrest and trip computer, for $31,065. A further upgrade to the 3.2 liter, 250 horsepower V6 engine with added wood trim, all-season tires, multi-function steering wheel, HomeLink®, rain sensing wipers and satellite radio is available at $36,850. Additional options include a Dynaudio premium sound system with ten-channel amplifier, ten loudspeakers and 600-watt output power, bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic and static cornering lights, DVD navigation system, park distance control and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Like all new Volkswagen models, the Eos comes with 24-hour Roadside Assistance for four years with unlimited mileage, and new vehicle warranties including:
Five-year/60,000 mile (whichever occurs first) Powertrain Limited Warranty.
Four-year/50,000 mile (whichever occurs first) New Vehicle Limited Warranty with wear and tear items and adjustments excluded after the initial 12 months/12,000 miles.
12-year unlimited distance Limited Warranty against corrosion perforation.

That V6 is a beast. My Mom's got it in her new A4. I've only driven it about twice since being home, but it tears.

It will be interesting to see if people will spend nearly 40k on a VW. I guess they come close on a Passat, but it is a little more practical.

u know..

almost 40,000$ aint too bad for a 4 seater hard top vert....i mean shit look at the SC430 fully loaded is almost 68,000$ for a 2 seater...and if u think about it and look at the specs...the Eos is actually the better buy...i mean granted the lexus has some other options that the Eos doesnt have...but i think when it comes down to it

i guess its just my personal opinion...but i would go with the Eos over a SC430

do the new A4's have the 3.2 VR6...or is it a standard V6? my friend and i were discussing this yesterday, and we're not sure...since the A4 has always had a regular V6 in the past...ie 2.8 in the B5, and 3.0 in the B6

I'll have to check that later on today. She was also looking at the Passat wagon, which is available with a 3.6 Liter V6. If I remember correctly, one or the other is a VR6. I'm leaning toward it being the Passat, but I'll have to double-check for ya.

On a side note, Audi's 3.2 V6 makes about 250hp while the VW's 3.6 V6 makes like 255hp or somewhere close. This says a couple things to me; Either the VW V6 is actually gonna be good for about 300hp, or Audi tuned their engine to get all they could out of it. Now, judging from these companies past tendancies, I'm going to guess that the 3.6 is actually good for about 300hp. Especially since it is the engine for the R36 which is rumored to have 300hp.
