Can You Guess Which VW Has Made The Hot Sellers List? Bet You Can't.

With gas prices being so crazy the past few months and the economy on shaky ground, you would think you might see a VW Rabbit or TDI on the JD Power hot sllers list.

But you would be wrong.

Of course cars like the MINI, Prius and Fit made it but would you think the VW EOS would be there?

I sure didn't.

Based on the chart, it looks like it's becoming the new Beetle, as the bug is the most traded in car on the EOS.

THe EOS is definitely a 'Chick' car in my opinion, but I did enjoy driving it and I LOVED the roof...best hardtop convertible setup by far.

Now if they made the EOS look like the Scirocco...THAT would be HOT!

Unbelievable... If it was a Jetta it would have made sense at least a little bit but an EOS........
It is a good car though but still it's a bit hard to believe

EOS hardtop convertible is a nice looking car.

The EOS is a car I gravitate toward when strolling the VW lot.

I liked the EOS when I took it out, and the triple action hard top is a big plus. I wasn't happy with the 4-cyc, but I need to try out the V6. It's really a nice car and I think it the right color doesn't scream chick to me. My only issue was the trunk (or lack there of).

The EOS has lots of appeal. I took out a CC on Tuesday. Very nice alternative to the Accord and Camry, simply outclasses them in many ways. So I would expect it to rack up some good figures as well, once the supply gets there.

I drove behind a CC on the highway last weekend. Only got the rear-end shot, and I really like the Passat's tailights more so than the slanty, ovid tailights on the CC. They look somewhat Toyota-ish, it's odd.

The CC is a great car and I would get one in a heartbeat before the Accord or Camry. However, They are not really even in the same class market wise or price wise.

to me, the EOS is a really nice shape that just doesn't quite have the proportions right. The huge rear flank relative to the smallish wheel opening looks kindof cheap and Asian to me. But that's the only complaint, and from most angles the looks are pretty good.
Plus almost everyone agrees that if you only have 1 vehicle but have to have a convertible that its by far the best choice in its price range.
(but take price out and anyone picking the EOS over an M3 Cabrio needs psychiatric help ... and that's coming from a guy with 2 VWs and 2 Audis in the driveway!)

Eos is a really nice car, especially for the price.
The Pontiac G6 is the same price!!!!!!

Look at the A5/ S5... impressive!

it is surprising because people are so concerned about interest rates right now when purchasing a vehicle. the avg on that is 5.46%. seems high since a lot of companies are advertising from 0%-2.9%.
My friend works for BMW and he said that people call and will select a new vehicle based on the lowest interest rate, not on size or styling, rate!
rate vs. other cars in that segment.
