Production of Volkswagen’s new Eos hardtop-convertible has been delayed, according to the automaker’s hometown newspaper Wolfsburger Nachrichten. The report indicates that production has been pushed from February, 2006, to summer 2006. The paper’s sources cited technical probelms with the roof construction, while a VW rep gave larger-than-expected demand and insufficient production capacity at a Portgual plant as the reason behind the delay. Previously, the new convertible was expected to be available in Europe in February, followed by a U.S. launch in May. The car is expected to cost somewhere around $32,000.
