2012 VW Jetta R

Last Updated:



Here it is; the new 2011 Jetta, with a V6!

During the European launch of the car a few days ago, VW showed the press a version of the Jetta equipped with a 3.6 Liter V6, and AWD.
That same V6 produces 276hp in the new Touareg.

This could make one mean small sedan.

Plus, the European market gets an upgraded interior, as you can see. Or maybe this is just the future R version.
But piano black trim, cream and black leather interior plus soft dash with stitches go a long way to make this interior more upscale.

I hear the upcoming GLI Turbo version will bring soft touch materials to the US market soon.

    You can clearly see the two banks. You must be kidding, right?

    The GLI will have a proper engine as well but it will not be worth the $25K.

    200HP in a 3200+ pound sedan isn't a "proper" engine. That is very week seeing as how the BASE Sonata has 198-200HP.

    This is going to be a failure. No one is going to pay $34,000 for a Jetta.

    You know you're comparing a compact with a midsize, right?

    It was an example.

    200HP for a FORCED INDUCTION engine is weak. Hyundai just got 274 out of their 2.0T.
