Volkswagen Eos Successful in Carsales Network People's Choice Award for Third Year in a Row

BOTANY, AUSTRALIA – December 9, 2009: The Volkswagen Eos has taken out the Sports Car category for the third year in a row in the Carsales Network People's Choice Awards 2009.

Announced yesterday, The Carsales Network People’s Choice Awards are the country’s most comprehensive analysis of new car purchasing trends. Based on genuine new car enquiries across the Carsales network of automotive websites, the results are tallied from more than 300,000 entries.

Volkswagen Group Australia’s Managing Director, Anke Koeckler, said “it is great to see that the Volkswagen Eos still is a favourite with consumers in this highly competitive segment. The sporty looks of the Eos obviously still appeal to car buyers.”

Managing Director of carsales.com Ltd, Greg Roebuck, congratulated each of the winners: “In a year when new car buyers were very careful with their dollars, many of the categories were harder fought than in any of the previous six years we have conducted the awards. Each of the winners has clearly struck a chord with their respective target markets.”
