AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- 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(TM)) 6-speed automatic transmission with
Tiptronic(R), steering wheel, shift **** and brake handle each wrapped in
leather, automatic headlights, dual-zone Climatronic(TM) 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(R), 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.

Assistance for four years with unlimited mileage, and new vehicle
warranties including:
* Five-year/60,000 mile (whichever occurs first) Powertrain Limited
Warranty.
