AutoNews - VW to start delivery of Eos soon

The new Coupe-Cabriolet model from Volkswagen is set to start delivery from April/May onwards in Germany and should be distributed across Europe in time for the summer season. The VW Eos was based on the Concept R by Volkswagen as an answer to the hugely successful range of Coupe-Cabriolet models by Peugeot in the 206CC and 307CC. The other mass market European car company to have introduced such a model recently is Opel/Vauxhall with their Astra Twin Top and Renault have shown a cabriolet concept last year with their Renault Wind. However, any production car by Renault should most probably come in the middle of next year.


The back of the Eos is provided for by the Jetta and the grille takes on design cues from the Passat while the headlamps look like those of the Polo. Overall, the car possess that Teutonic look that is typical for VW.
