You've got to be kidding me. VW actually put out and add comparing the Z roadster to a VW EOS????????????? The top output of the larges motor they offer is 256hp and it looks up a modern version of the cabrio.

Your local area Buffalo VW dealers have suffered frost bite one too many times. Talk about apples and oranges.

It wasn't VW doing the ad. It was a dealer trying to win over a segment. Failed miserably and provided no comparative basis.

When I bought my 370z in 2009 I got a survey after and one of the cars in the survey was the Eos. There was a whole section on why I chose the Z over the Eos. I remember at the bottom of the comments section I put because this car isn't even close to competing with the Z.
