Default Dropped off the Passat at VW Place and Saw an EOS...........

I had seen the pics of these on the internet but not seen one in person. The one on the lot was $38K and had a 3.2. I really liked the proportions and all of it. The retractable hard top seems very sweet.

No sooner than I leave the VW place, but I see someone driving one of these. Hmmmmm, I could just about leave the TT for one of these.

Default It's fast, and the fit and finish is...well you know Audi/ VW, but it doesn't...

look quite "grown up" enough. There was a comparo in the May issue of C&D. The comp set was Vovlo, Saab, BMW, Audi cabrio, and the VW. I won't give it away, check it out. I will say, the VW was the quickist to 60 -

Default Don't know how they ranked, but the VW was probably the least expensive of them.

Having owned 2 Passats, a Cabrio, and a 06 Jetta, along with the TT since 99, I would have to say that I believe the fit and finish of the VW's is equal to that of the Audi.

I would love to have an EOS that had a diesel in it. I wonder if they sell those in Canada or even make those at all.

Default I saw one at the local grocery yesterday, the fit and finish looked very nice

The styling initially struck me as odd, but with some wheels and tires and lowered a bit, I could learn to love it I'm sure. The Volvo wins on styling, especially the interior. The dash panel/console/seats, all VERY nice. A tough choice for me. It would come down to driving characteristics/feel to select one over the other...

Default played with one last summer at an event. Top is way cool. Weighs 75lbs, and the whole assembly comes

out for service.
