Special edition models for your typical high volume production vehicle are created for one of two reasons – either the model is not selling as well as expected so the manufacturer is trying to drum up a little publicity or the model is nearing the end of its product cycle and about to be replaced with an all new generation leaving the manufacturer to try and boost final unit sales. Currently there are no indications that Volkswagen are about to replace the Eos, so we are gonna have to go for the first option.

The VW Eos Cabriolet Coupe “Edition 2009” is supposed to enhance that open-top feeling, the exterior has a few additional eye candy features including a chrome radiator grille slats and cherry red LED tail-lights. The main attractions of the interior are the three spoke leather steering wheel incorporating aluminium elements along with a Nappa Date Brown leather upholstery. Other standard fittings to the “Edition 2009” include “Climatronic” air-conditioning system, cruise control, an “RCD 510” radio system with an integrated 6-stack CD player and rear parking sensors.

The pricing starts at €31,325 for the entry level 121hp engine representing a saving of €1,340.

what do you except from this maker of terminally dull looking vehicles. this has made my weekend. i HATE vw and their pompous attitude to design. porsche can get away with the timeless 911 and its honed shape all these decades but vw? yawn inducing "new cars" that they introduce year after year. that look the same as the previous gen. plus their cars arent particularly reliable as the japanese knock them for six and their dealers couldnt give a stuff and consistently complined about in the uk. oh and i speak from experience before anyone says anything! from Phaeton to Fox this manufacturer has ideas above its station......

Can't argue with anyone here. VW are over priced unreliable cars that are some of the most boring around. Sure people will swear by there golfs and jettas (they are the best of vw's line and that doesn't say much) and a lot of those people just swear by the motor and what you can add on to. All of the other vw's are just ok, i'd find myself in a mazda lot before long. The ios is just another boring sedan. Sorry i would buy the Volvo convertible for the same price which is much more grown up. These cars have teen girls first car writen all over it

You summed it up pretty well with 'Overpriced'.

had a good chance to see this rig in close inspection and noticed that the rear seats have cramped legroom which is not too different from a BMW 3s. for some consolation , the upholstery and seat quality is tops--something that is sorely amiss in the VW Zerocco.
