I know. I read about it in CAR magazine. 🙂 I imagine it’ll only be offered with one engine here, and probably not the twincharged. ☹

Howard, VW (or anyone, for that matter) will never be greater than Honda. Period.

either way, they shouldnt call it the scirocco imho if it ever comes out

if volkswagen actually brings the hpa powered jetta to the states, it will probably be in limited amounts and be $$$$

i love them personally, i wish i got to see it at sema

That is some impressive power. I love the Passat and the Touareg…still trying to get used to the look of the Jetta.

The Jetta GT-R may become a reality as an AWD turbocharged $40,000 sedan. Prob. will come with the 300hp 3.6L VR6 which will be turboed to 400hp. Rumor has it that the same engine will be used in newer version of the Passat 4-door “coupe” similar in style to the Merc CLS.

Are 19" tires/rims really necessary? It seems as though some future replacement costs could be lowered significantly.

Im pissed off. Why cant companies sell these types of cars at a reasonable price? Why dont they make a friggin 400 pony car for under 25k? they could easily make a nice profit off a great handling, small car. I dont know, maybe Im missing the point?
