Vehicle Summary

The Eos is a compact four-seat retractable-hardtop convertible, and as such it occupies a small niche in the car market. It roughly competes on price with the Audi A4, and costs more than the Mini Cooper convertible and Volkswagen's New Beetle Convertible. It's not designed to be a sports car, and it doesn't behave like one. It's only been on sale since the 2007 model year, and for 2008 it gets a number of leather upgrades and other tweaks to the interior. Its trim names have also changed to Turbo, Lux, VR6 and Komfort, the latter of which is apparently the German spelling of "comfort."  Read more
