I took this video while training on the new EOS. Our first "demo" EOS has arrived. It is Thunder Blue.
The first EOS for sale arrives at the end of August. It is a 2007 EOS 2.0T Automatic Eismeer Blue with Beige Leatherette. It has a Radio Receiver Upgrade and 17" "Le Mans" Alloy Wheel Package.
More info on the EOS.
The R32 is the fastest Golf ever produced at 250 HP. Coupled with the DSG transmission (dual clutch manual), this R32 will sprint the 0-60 mph in 6.2 seconds.
Not fast enough? Visit HPA Motorsports and have them install a Stage 3 twin-turbo for a 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds. HPA Motorsports says they can deliver a 2008 R32 now - months before it is due to hit US shores!

The EOS is scheduled to be launched Labor Day 2006.
The first EOS came in to our dealership for training on Monday. Its lines are very pleasing. This EOS was a luxury package 2.0L Turbo. The same engine found in the GTi, GLi and the Passat. Nice, but honestly I can't wait to see the lowered Sport Package car with 18" wheels and 3.2L VR6 with DSG coming out in November. It's the same 250HP engine as the R32 without the all-wheel drive. And we know what kind of horsepower we can get out of that (see HPA Motorsport).
The EOS was built as a Convertible Coupe with a Sunroof from the start. It is the only hardtop convertible with a sunroof. And it's a large sunroof, taking the whole width of the car. The competition (the G6 and the C70) are built as coupes then cut up into convertibles, the EOS was born to be topless with no plans to ever be a coupe. This gives the EOS unmatched torsional rigidity.
The large sunroof is a key feature for the EOS as the driver can still enjoy the sunlight when the top must be up.
The interior has familiar styling cues similar to other models in the VW lineup. For Volkswagen cultists, familiarity is good. VW's German engineers design cars with the best ergonomics, always placing the driver first. This EOS was equipped with the optional Navigation system.
The EOS is a true four-seater. The interior is classy with supportive seats. The top and the sunroof are operated with the silver and black button between the seats on the center armrest.
The trunk was surprisingly large. We managed to fit a ton of items in.
Pretty amazing space for a hardtop convertible with sunroof!

Delivering a Black Rabbit 2-door to its thrilled new owner. Check out this customer's testimonial and more.
It's so fun to deliver a quality product such as the new Rabbit. The car is super safe too. It recently made the list of safest cars with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It's in good company with its big sisters, the Jetta, the Passat and the rest of the family, the Audi A3, A4 and A6. Wouldn't you say we have the safest cars on the road?
Another happy customer! Jetta GLI with DSG transmission. This car screams while the owner rejoices.
