VW bringing back Golf cabriolet, EOS to be replaced by Passat cabrio

Moving the EOS to a larger platform could be a really good thing, I was looking at buying one for my wife, we drove it and loved everything but the interior space.

More rear legroom to make it a true four seater would do wonders.
