Volkswagen's Eos convertible returns for 2010 with no changes to its standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four. The Eos shares its turbocharged, 16-valve 2.0 TSI engine with the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta Wolfsburg Edition. The TSI engine is undersquare, with an iron block, an aluminum head, twin balance shafts, and chain-driven dual overhead camshafts, with variable timing for the intake cam. It features VW's Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) system, which injects fuel directly into the combustion chambers at up to 1,600 psi, improving both power and fuel economy. Directly injecting fuel also cools the intake charge before combustion, which reduces the risk of detonation, despite a compression ratio of 9.6:1, high for a turbocharged engine. The 2.0 TSI has a single BorgWarner K03 turbocharger built into the exhaust manifold, with an air-to-air intercooler to reduce the temperature of the compressed charge before it enters the intake manifold. Maximum boost pressure is 13.1 psi, producing 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. While a 2.0-liter engine producing 100 horsepower per liter might sound peaky, the 2.0 TSI is optimized for low-end and mid-range power. There is very little turbo lag, and Volkswagen claims that 100% of the engine's maximum torque is available from 1,800 to 5,000 rpm. Reviewers note, however, that it runs out of breath at higher engine speeds. Because the Eos weighs substantially more than a GTI or Jetta with the same engine, it is somewhat slower, although the 2.0-liter engine gives it good overall performance. The TSI engine is quiet and fairly refined, even in aggressive driving. The Eos gets surprisingly good fuel economy, considering its weight and performance. EPA city/highway estimates are 21/29 with manual transmission, 21/30 with the optional DSG transmission, although Volkswagen recommends premium fuel.

Volkswagen will unveil the R-Line version of the CC at the Auto Mobil International show in Leipzig on June 1st. This CC model will be available in the U.S. 2012 with the 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter, turbocharged TSI engine, mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. With interior and exterior enhancements, the R-Line upgrades make the CC an even sportier vehicle. Compared with the Sport model, the R-Line gains a more aggressive front bumper design that incorporates a large lower air intake and projector-style foglights with a striking chrome motif. Side skirts and the R-Line logo on the grille further differentiate it from the Sport model, along with shaded taillights and unique and dramatic 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. Inside, there are stainless-steel R-Line scuff plates and the multifunction steering wheel for the DSG-equipped model has paddle shifters. The CC was refreshed for the 2013 Model Year, featuring new front and rear styling and an extended range of standard equipment. The 2013 CC went on sale in March and now has seating for five (previous models seated four). The new CC makes an even bolder move towards the automotive luxury class, offering a sleek, dramatic look at a highly attainable price.
