So far this year VW has only produced 8,000 units and weakening demand mean that the Eos is expected to retire sometime later this year. According to Der Spiegel, a new Eos is not planned because of the cost associated with developing a new Eos with its complex folding hardtop. Also since demand continues to decrease it doesn’t make sense to make a new one.
