That's a US-spec pic, whereas the main Vwwa page has the news story and pic of the Euro spec model:Quote:

With the current AUD and the push for #1 worldwide sales (and increase VAG sales leadership in Australian segments) it could be a case of either much more aggressive pricing on a de-specced price leader (1.2L anyone?!?) or just more competitive pricing on loaded-spec models.Quote:
As you can see from the pictures the newly released Euro spec Jetta differs from the North American spec Jetta by having:
-Clear head light indicators.
-Euro spec instrument cluster.
-Rear bumper with revised warning reflectors and black lower half.
-Interior has softer plastics.
-Multi link rear suspension
-Euro spec engines.
Jetta VI will likely launch late next year with basically the same engine range as the current Jetta V that includes the 77TDI, 118TSI, 103TDI and 147TSI. Expect aggressive pricing as VW targets more volume in the medium size class.
You can see some chrome on the front valance, along the base of the windows and there are probably more standard features expected on an AU-spec car than the stripped US base version. This one looks better than the US one but still looks a lot plainer (to me) than the MkV.
That article suggests that the car won't be available in Australia until late 2010! Surely it will arrive before that.
That pic of the euro spec is a computer animation.. in reality it will look pretty much identical to the pic I post (only with fog lights). These are base models and yes they do look a little plain but in comparison to the current base model jetta its a huge improvement, it no longer looks like a stretched out golf.Quote:

Sorry, that was a typo. I was hoping it would be here before that suggested date due to the fact that they are already available in the US.Quote:

I'd love the former; I am happy for the Jetta V to continue as long as possible. :) Take as long as possible, New Jetta! :)
Interestingly enough,since 1980,when the Jetta 1 was launched in South Africa,it was built there.
Now,from 2011,the new model will also be fully imported from Mexico.
Jetta 5 models were built in Mexico,SA,Russia,India,and China.
I wonder which plants will build the Jetta 6 ?
Mexico allready,and China for sure.
SA no.
Wonder about India and Russia.
