Default VW EOS - poor man's SLK?

<center><img src="http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-2006/2006-Volkswagen-Eos-SA-Speed-1024x768.jpg"></center><p>Read about the upcoming EOS from Motor Trend. Seems like a "good value" - starting at $25Gs. I've been drooling over the SLK but cant beat the price of the EOS.

BTW, its hardtop convertible PLUS sunroof and its 2+2! Looks clean too.

Any comments?

Default maybe my math is off, but i'm counting a couple too many seats

looks more like a poor man's Saab 9-3

looks bland and uninspired - I'm sure it'll be a big success

He's thinking about the folding hard top.

Default it's not bad, more like a poor man's new 3-series

from what i hear the new 3-series coupe will also be a convertible via a folding hardtop...probably similar in size to the EOS. it certainly is a good value and that sunroof thing is really cool.

Default nope...SLK is 2-seat roadster. EOS similar to new Volvo C70 Hardtop Convertible.

BTW, I think both of these cars are going to sell like hotcakes especially in the northern climates. They both look great.<ul><li><a href="http://www.swedespeed.com/news/publish/Volvo_News/article_676.html">http://www.swedespeed.com/news/publish/Volvo_News/article_676.html</a</li></ul>
