Eos Mio!

Volkswagen is now saying that the Eos four seater, hard top convertible will be delayed. The launch has been moved from Spring 2006 to Summer, not exactly fatal for a convertible. Buzz on the street has it that production glitches are holding up the show. No news here as Pontiac's G6 hardtop convertible is on hold (or worse) as GM tries to straighten out problems with its folding hardtop.

No delay is good for VW, but it's better to get it right the first time rather than have initial buyers complete the debugging job. If the launch is pushed back much further however, I'm sure that VW dealers would be very disappointed. A brand new convertible arriving in your showroom just as winter sets in would be a bummer.
