    seems like it... probably to commemorate their running in the 24 hrs at nordschleife.

    and GLI/GTI brakes
    and GLI/GTI suspension
    and Interlagos interior

    I see a lot more than just a body kit and stickers (though the kit is nice as well).

    Seems like a Jetta "GTD" kind of...

    but.. I still like the one they showed at LA two years ago that never appeared I think it was called TDI Sport:

    It was a GLI with the TDI motor and externally just looked like a sleeper Jetta.

    I think it looks cool, but really wish VW could have seen to fit the 170hp version of the engine as opposed to the 140hp version.

    agreed they should put the motor that they used in the TDI cup cars... 170 hp and like 223lbs. if i'm not mistaking.

    Also they should keep the Audi R8 breaking system on it to!!!
    it would be SICK!!!!!!

    Looks really nice. Haven't driven the Jetta TDI yet so I can't comment on lack of engine mods/power in this car. Seems like it could be a pretty good deal anyway.

    Ditto... I would have a hard time *not* buying this if VW had decided on the 170HP TDI engine instead. Talk about having your cake and eating it too!

    I agree, if they brought over the R8 brakes & the 170 bhp version, it would've been an 'even more' special edition.... but even as it sits, it's a nice little piece - and it could easily be modified to similar TDI cupcar specs.

    Agree. Everyone complains we never get anything cool here, then when we do... they complain about it.

    Great idea VW. Thanks!

    I love the idea...I already have one TDI transplanted GLI, so this could fit right in. Are these going for suggested retail or some crazy markup?

    Thank you VWOA for bringing something cool. You are showing that economy can be fun! Plus with sport suspension you can hold your speed in turns better give you increased mpg from not having to slow down and have to waste energy speeding back up again!
