Volkswagen Eos 2007

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

EosHas anyone outside of the United States driven this car as of yet? I have read a few reviews on this car, but it seems like everything that has been written about it has been inconsistent. When I am looking for views of many products, the first site that comes to mind is C|net. I thought the car looked really sharp, clean in style and a pretty decent design by Volkswagen. They have plans of v6 @ 250 HP. It has been a while since they’ve come out with a new product. Unfortunately, C|net really dog this car and one of their long time readers was really upset by their inaccuracy.

“Full user opinion

Cnet, I’m a long time reader, and have used you for many years to guide me on the quest for electronics knowledge. You have lost me as a reader with this and the Jetta reviews.
The review of the EOS, which isn’t due in the states for 6 months, is seriously flawed. Your reviewer is clearly showing a distain for VW’s. One word has been used to describe the EOS: beautiful. Please get your 12 year old review off the soapbox, and get back to what you do well - review technology, not cars.”
And
“Bland and Ugly

Are you sure your reviewer is looking at the EOS, perhaps he is looking in the mirror. Compared to butt uglies like the mini cooper and PT Convertible, this car is drop dead gorgeous.”

I would really like the opinion of a person who has driven this car. I’m looking for a daily driver and it must be a VW when I am not driving or restoring one of my Vintage cars. Please add your comments. Should I wait?
