The EOS is a compact FWD, four-passenger convertible with a retractable hardtop convertible. Priced from $30,000, the EOS slots in above the Beetle Convertible in the lineup. Both 4-cylinder and V6 engines are offered in the model range.
A four-door version of the GTI compact joins the lineup for 2007. The 4-door shares its 200 hp four-cylinder engine, FWD and choice of six-speed transmissions with the 2-door model. The models are virtually identical in every conceivable option and dimension save for the extra 2 doors.
All-new Passat is longer, wider, and taller than the model it replaces. Engine choices include a 200 hp, turbocharged four-cylinder and 280hp, 3.6L V6. The top-line model features 4Motion AWD.
The 1.9L diesel has been dropped from the lineup. GLI models will wear redesigned alloy wheels (late intro). Launch control becomes standard on DSG-equipped Jetta GLI models.
