Launch of Volkswagen's Eos convertible pushed back

Production of Volkswagen's new Eos hardtop-convertible has been  
delayed, according to the automaker's hometown newspaper Wolfsburger  
Nachrichten as translated and cited by LeftlaneNews.com. 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.
