VW Eos Sport 3.2 V6 DSG - 28k

Any ideas when the Eos is going to make an appearance on the market?

I have liked it ever since I saw it on TV at one of the motor shows.

The 330 Ci has a 3.0L 6 cyilinder engine that makes 231 HP and 300 Nm (222 lbs-ft) while The Eos has a 3.2L V6 that makes 250 HP and 320 Nm (237 lbs-ft). Only big difference is that the curbweight of the 330 Ci is only 1505 kg (3315 lbs) while that of the Eos is 1627 kg (3584 lbs).

Eos will make an appearance in the UK in the summer. not sure when you guys get it in the states.

the BMW is probably a slightly better car in terms of build quality and looks. but to save £10k, i think id take the VW. i suppose its just a convertible golf at the end of the day. but theyve done a much better job of it. got that sporty feel to it and its something a man can drive.

I thought it had a more passatish front end. I like the Golf front end more :-D.

I want those wheels. Knowing VW they will be outrageously overpriced and probably heavy too. The surely have that Avus/old S4 look to them, with a slash of VW styling. Some nice 18x8s would be awesome on a GTI.
