If you’re looking to buy a new Volkswagen Eos convertible, you better act fast. The German automaker has already confirmed that the 2015 model year would be the end of the road for the drop-top, but German automotive news site Automobilwoche is now reporting that production of the car will cease in May.
The writing has been on the wall since last year, when Volkswagen announced the 2015 Volkswagen Eos Final Edition, but this new report gives a specific date that the final Eos will roll off the car’s Portugal assembly plant. There is still some time to order a new Eos, as the report adds that customers can continue to order the car until March 27.
According to the article, one of the reasons for the Eos’ demise is the fact that convertible preference among European customers has switched to favor soft-top offerings in recent years. It also doesn’t help that the Eos has essentially gone its entire nine-year lifecycle with few changes outside of a relatively light refresh for the 2012 model year.
