Wolfsburg, 23 March 2006 - Spring is just around the corner and so is the new Eos. Catching the first balmy rays of sun and enjoying the warm open air in Volkswagen's new convertible coupé is a dream soon to come true. Advance sales of the Eos have begun.

Volkswagen dealers in Germany are now taking orders for the new Eos, which will be launched in eight weeks time: from Friday, 19 May 2006 customers can take the Eos for a test drive in the sun.

The Eos will be on sale in five engine versions ranging from 85 kW/115 PS to 184 kW/250 PS. Its generous and luxurious standard specification includes details such as ESP, air conditioning, electric windows, alloy wheels, a leather-lined steering wheel, optimised-safety front head restraints, front airbags, especially developed head-thorax airbags, and a roll over protection system that deploys in a maximum of 0.25 seconds. The four-seater sports convertible can be ordered now in Germany and prices start at 25 950 euros.
