              Eos and All-New GTI Make North American Debut

   WHAT:          Volkswagen's futuristic concept vehicle will make its
                  worldwide debut during a press conference at the Greater
                  Los Angeles Auto Show.

                  It is also the North American debut of Volkswagen of
                  America, Inc.'s eagerly anticipated, high-emotion new
                  convertible coupe -- the Eos and the all-new 2006 GTI.

                  The Eos is the world's first four-seat, hard top
                  convertible, featuring a five-section CSC roof. The
                  folding hard top combines the characteristics of a coupe,
                  sliding and convertible roof, thereby unifying three
                  different car concepts to form a whole.

                  The GTI represents a return to purity of the Volkswagen
                  sports car hatchback concept and promises the brand's
                  faithful a modern and dynamic technological extension of
                  the original hot hatch approach.
