That's all it takes for the 2012 Volkswagen Eos to transform itself from a sleek, elegant two-door coupe to an open-top, four-seat convertible. While there may be other retractable hardtop convertible models on the market, the new Eos stands apart for being the only one to offer a full-width, power-tilt-and-slide, panoramic glass sunroof integrated in to its hardtop. Unveiled at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show, this second-generation Eos was substantially updated for 2012 with major styling changes that included a complete new front-end redesign together with a host of new features.
