Whilst discussing another matter with my local dealer in March this year I did ask about the Ed50 as the sales manager had literally just got back from the big event VW threw for dealers and sales staff in Wolfsburg.
They had been shown the Ed50 at the event but sworn to secrecy as far as spec and looks are concerned. What they were allowed to say was the model would be produced for the whole year of 2026 with no limitations to numbers. We can assume that some cars won’t be delivered until the following year going from that.
Obviously this was a while ago now so they had no idea on pricing or whether it would be exempt from sales promotions etc.
