New Compact Coupe Concept

[skyline513]

WOW!!!!!! This looks absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! I'm soooooo excited for this!!

[Buran]

Looks great. I hate sedans myself and am a 5-door girl, but my fiance loves sedans and wants one for his next car. Perhaps in 5-7 years, one of these as an off-lease CPO vehicle would be perfect for him. In Candy White, please!

Wow - very nice - some Audi mixed in with some VW - a better looking A5.

[Mr Black]

Put the I-5 in it and I just might buy my first-ever new car.

[Power5]

What scion looks like this? Did they come out with a new TC and I have just missed it?

If this is out in spring 2011 I may be purchasing one at the end of my crappy escape lease.

Don't know about that nice...

... I will say the best looking Jetta sence the mk2. The dash looks better then the Golf mk6 .... they better put this one into production... unlike some other nice past concepts that never made it. What happened to the Bus... i still want one of them... i would buy one in a hart beat.

never happened... instead lets put some VW badges on a Chrysler minivan

[RPMax01]

ha ha... you know it's inevitable

[doctordub19]

If it comes in a TDI 6 speed, I'm sold!

Also......comparing the coupe/sedan photos, it appears that both use the same upper roof, rear window and trunk lid. If that's correct, both the coupe and sedan Jetta VIs will be the same length, which should be slightly larger than a Scion.

There is not much point in comparing the new photos -- if you read the story, you will see that Jamie specifically said it's a Photoshop:

Based on what we have seen, numerous spy photos and more we have created a fairly accurate digital rendering of what the Jetta VI sedan will look like when it is introduced later this year:

Still, I do like it.

[mortician79]

I love it and would buy, for sure!

[Chimera]

Now that I've seen the 2012 Focus, it's looking like this styling will be the norm in a year or two, I must say.

......... The coupe has a lower roofline and is tapered more gradually in the back. The differences are small but noticeable.

I invite you to go back to the side views in my page 3 post, take a small ruler, and carefully measure the images of both the coupe and four door sedan Jetta VI versions from point to point. I've done it, and
there are no measureable differences --or, in my opinion, visual ones--between the rooflines. That's a good thing because it will cost VW less to produce both versions, which makes this an easier internal business case for VW.

Holy ****, I'm glad I held off on signing the dotted line for a MK6 GTI for xmas now.. I definitely know what I want for next Xmas now

It is a very nice looking car but ............ Golf>Jetta, always and forever

[Toby16custom]

****ING sex

LOVE IT! The new Jetta is going to look fierce guys... I can't imagine what the sporty (if equipped correctly) wagon Jetta/Golf will look like. A mini version of the Audi A4 Avant possibly?

The future for Volkswagen looks gooooood! Let's pray they bring this to the states.

[Nexus]

Bring back the VR6 for that car please

[VR6SHOTS]

The Gli to this is going to be something...

[Max_O]

Coupe will be my next car if they make it.....

[Boost Addicted]

yess... i will be buying a 2013 Jetta. just in time for the end of my lease

[GruvDone]

absolutely gorgeous!!!

[quailallstar]

This looks hotter than the BMW 1er 135i I'm considering... Damn now I'm forced to wait (I can save more $ too) which can be a great thing for my next car purchase.

Again Volkswagen you did a great job with this "concept" Jetta.

Keep the LED's in those headlamps

[JohnTT]

I'll take one in Deep Black with Cornsilk interior please

[boxster]

The knee-jerk negativity on other "automotive" websites regarding this car is amusing.

TTAC, in particular, is hilarious. Their inanity knows no bounds.

[stuckey]

Best looking VW in years. If this is the real deal, don't change anything.

I like the coupe. Make an R version.

[Slow N Low]

first vw ive been excited for in a number of years

the coupe is nice but the 4 door i would be all over

hope it comes out looking very close to these pics

[fastgermancar]

That is a very beautiful design! It looks like it should be rear wheel drive though IMO....or at least 4Motion...please?

I like the idea of the return of the 2.slow as well as the hybrid concept. I'd definetly drive a Hybrid like this no problem.

[85GTI]

Not terribly German looking now is it?

[airbornejet]

HOT!!

[AJB]

Wait..How could I have forgotten..Where's the Wagon?

Concur!

[davidch]

i like everything but....

1.) the bottom part of the front grill... the large shark looking inlets and oversized grill are too much, would look cleaner if it were more like the TDI golf

2.) the large rounded rear glass... looks good on the coupe version, but odd on the sedan, hopefully they will make the glass a little smaller and less round with slightly more trunk (similar to the diff between the A5 and A4)
