New Jetta is here from $26,490 !!!

Backside does look alot better than the front IMO....

Yep, no xenon is an oversite but it just isn't VW Aus it is worldwide. Regardless of the country including Germany, a Xenon headlight has not been made available for the MK6 Jetta...... Crazy....

The bum looks A LOT like the Audi B8 A4, doesn't it?

But no bixenon/LED DRL option? Seems like an oversight.

VWA getting absolutely slammed in the comments field of the SMH on that Jetta article.

Not a good write up either.

New Volkswagen Jetta first drive and review

Are they hubcaps/wheel covers ???

IIRC First batch of scirocco had no xenons either. Weird.

The base models come with hubcaps,but the comfortline and highline both come with attractive alloys.

This is unusual for a Jetta,as all the previous Jettas,including most Ventos and all Boras,had alloys.

Obviously agressive pricing ,but a bit of a backward step IMHO.

Agree with the other guys,

It both looks like a polo and is boring. Quite smart and very restrained but lacks the personality that was present in the mk5

As much as I disliked it, the chrome grill sort of made the Jetta and Passat stand out a little in the crowd.

People say they dislike the Jetta now, but wait a few months and we'll see them everywhere. Surely cab companies are going to love the cheap prices and good consumption of the TSI. I didn't like the Mk6 Golf at first but it's grown on me, maybe the Jetta will do the same.

The Motor Report: Auto News And Reviews have just tested the 2.0TSI,and loved it,gave it 4 stars,the same as the Accord Euro lux.

They felt it was as big a jump from the previous model,as the new Polo is from the old.

Time will tell,but Maca,I think we are going to love this one.

REminds me a bit of a Bora ???

Yeah, I must admit, that the MKIV Golf and Bora (and Passat of that era) were pretty boring looking as far as I'm concerned. Nice cars, but not as stand out asthetics wise as the MKV versions. So I think this will grow on people..... maybe

VW is a car for everyone. It's Germany's Toyota
if you want to be special get an Alfa! or a Kia!
