	2006 Volkswagen VW Eos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		When the roof is open, the 4.41 metre long and 1.79 metre wide Eos also clearly reveals that it has been specifically developed as a convertible coupé, and that its body concept has not been derived from any other model in existence.
		The shorter windscreen frame makes it easier to get into the Eos when the top is down, as the driver or passenger does not have to manoeuvre his head past the frame.
		Market launch: The Eos is scheduled to be launched in Europe in spring 2006; the other continents are set to follow the same year.

	VW EOS convertible coupé at the 61st Frankfurt motor show
		VW's new four-seater comes with a five-section CSC sliding hard top, which enabled the windscreen frame to be kept short and the rear compact.
		Developed specifically as a convertible coupé, VW says that the Eos body concept has not been derived from any other model, adding that significant technologies such as the engines (85 kW / 115 PS to 184 kW / 250 PS) and running gear have been adapted from the Passat and the Golf.
		VW is additionally fitting electrically activated easy-entry seats for the first time: these "remember" the driver's and front passenger's longitudinal seating positions, then return - once the rear passengers have entered or exited the vehicle - at the push of a button.

		Under the body, many major components used in the Eos are shared with other Volkswagen models, including sophisticated multi-link rear suspension, electro-mechanical power steering and an advanced range of engines.

		Like the Phaeton luxury sedan, named after the great chariot pilot, Eos is an important mythical character, believed to rise from the sea in her chariot and bring her people daylight every morning.
		Many liken it to a two-door Jetta, but VW has done some significant work to show that this vehicle was designed and engineered separately.
		The nose bears the chromed VW shield, however, unlike the Jetta, the VW badge is smaller, and does not cut into the hood resulting in a more graceful appearance.

		Taken from the Greek goddess of the dawn, the name continues the classical associations of the VW Phaeton.
		While consistency is a good thing, one might have expected VW to avoid anything associated with its slow-selling luxury car.
		VW is keen to stress that the Eos is a separate model, rather than a convertible Golf (although we will have to wait for the final version to see just how different it is under the skin).

		Actively engaged in expanding its already ample model line, the 2007 Volkswagen Eos fills a narrow gap between the Golf and the Passat.
		The Eos seems designed mostly around its retractable hardtop, with highly visible lines where parts of the roof meet.
		Although the Eos was announced with four available gas engines, ranging from 115 horsepower to 250 horsepower, and one diesel engine, it will probably have only the 200-horsepower or the 250-horsepower engine in its U.S. release, which should come in spring 2006.

	The Driving Woman - Volkswagen Eos Hardtop Convertible -- A Hardtop for the Rest of Us (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Now comes a car like the Volkswagen Eos, whose price is expected to be in the $30,000 range when it hits the showrooms this summer.
		It features VW's DSG (direct shift gearbox) transmission, which is always appreciated because it's a shiftable automatic.
		I still found it takes some work to climb into the back seat, though, as the door sill seemed high to me. Once inside, the rear seats were quite tight in the tush, and wouldn't be comfortable for women with bigger bottoms.

		The Eos is the latest in a growing list of hardtop convertibles, though it seems positioned to be the first to make it into the mass market due to delays with General Motors' Pontiac G6 version.
		The 1.4-liter powertrain will launch the popular VW model from 0-100 km/h (0-62.5 mph) in 7.9 seconds, and push it to a top speed of 220 km/h (137.5 mph).

		Eos is a clever name for an airline that promises to treat its passengers divinely by offering them space, service, and creature comforts like personal DVD players, cashmere blankets and meals served on fine china.
		The ancients often referred to Eos riding a chariot pulled by horses across the sky, surely a nice parallel to the impressive 1.6-liter 115- horsepower VW Eos.

		VW's Golf-based Eos convertible, available next year has reportedly been delayed by a couple of months due to problems in getting its complex, five-piece roof to work properly.
