Had Volkswagen not fixed a nagging wind noise issue on its new Eos convertible, drivers may have spent their top-down time wondering if they were going mad. Pre-production models were plagued by a kind of whispering sound (faster, faster) that's reportedly been fixed by Webasto, maker of the car''s retractable hardtop — making way for the car's release this May. Now, the only voice the little princesses behind the wheel will hear is that of their personal shopper at Neiman Marcus, coming in loud and clear on the Bluetooth phone.
