Mk VI Jetta Released

[CrimDub]

Not a fan of the front, good to see they ditch the chrome, love the back..... the front just looks.... i don't quite know, i think it's to long or something. needs tweaking!

[dave_r]

apparantly an R version coming out post launch of new model....now that will be interesting!

As mentioned, make it an R coupe with a nicer looking front and they'll have my interest!

It might be A5 but fine with me. I'd love an S5 except for the fact they're serious drug money. A smaller one with a VW badge and some R goodness can't be a bad thing?

So I take it this is the new model that will be built at their new US plant?

Mexico actually

The Jetta is code named NCS,for new compact sedan.

The NMS will be built in America,nms being new midsized sedan.

It will be the Passat replacement.

To me it looks totally devoid of any personality, that's probably why it appeals to you Coreying

Both Honda Euros, the current AND the old generation beat this for looks.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend.
Although I too thought the first Honda Euro was a rather nice looking far (for a sedan), the new one just looks... well cheap. I'd rather a bland looking car than a cheap looking car

I have just replaced my very much loved Jetta with a brand new Euro,and think its superior looking to the new Jetta.
I loved the look of my Jetta 5,but IMHO,my Euro is a big step up.

Very sleek front,love the wheel arches,body kit style bottom,big alloys,and chrome bits,and the high rear has lots of detail.

Bland is 1 thing that the Euro has never been,if you talk bland,talk Corolla or Camry...lol.I think I would describe the Euro as being quite sporty,far more so than the Jetta....

The Euros quality,and interior is VERY impressive too.

Where the Jetta scores is its back legroom is roomier because its seats are smaller,its boot is bigger...and that is a very strong Jetta selling point,and it has lots of toys as standard equipment.
I have had 4 Jettas,and dont know how the new one will compete with the Euro...although I think that the Jetta will have a good chance against the rest of its competitors.

I am just saddened that the forthcoming Jetta seems to have been cheapened,eg look at its boot hinges,in order to make it cheaper,so that it can compete more competitively with the Corolla and Civic in America.

VW want 160 000 sales annually of the Jetta in the US.
