Thanks Ben
Cant wait.
My Reflex Silver Jetta 2.0 FSI Tiptronic will be one of those cars.
I have just seen that VW in Canada had a great year
VW USA held its own.
They are both anxious for the new Jetta Sports wagon and TDI s.
And Mexico produced its second best figures ever.
VW are on a roll world wide.
And things should keep on improving in 2008.

Thanks for the figures Ben.
WHAT A YEAR IT WAS FOR VW.
And look at the Jettas figures for December...outselling the Golf.
It just goes to prove that if the cars are promoted...they will sell like hot cakes.
Bring on 2008 now.

I am anxiously waiting for Januarys sales figures.
My brother is thinking of buying a new Jetta,but stocks are very low since November and Decembers promotion,and there are waiting lists if you want a specific colour,such as the new Grey colour.
