Although like others said, as long as the Eos is around I can't imagine them doing a cabrio Golf too.

^ Just a rendering.
I think the deal is that the Eos wasn't selling well as a standalone model, though it was obviously based on the same platform as the MK5. Because it was differentiated with a different name, however, it likely lost sales.
Consider that the convertible Beetle exists as a somewhat comparable option as well.
If VW is going to try to revive sales of a "Golf-based convertible", they'll probably be better off getting rid of the Eos name, and naming the next version a Golf Cabrio.
Maybe they'll even send it off to Karmann for the conversions again like before.
Maybe they'll give it a center roll bar too. Just for old times sake.

That does look great, but a FWD convertible does not sound appealing. Convertibles need to be RWD like the MX-5.
