I too think that VW took a huge step back with the MkVI. My '06 Value Edition Jetta has independent rear suspension, disc brakes, and a lot of other features the MkVI base model doesn't have. I think VW is trying too hard to mass market these cars to Toyota owners and needs to go back to their roots. Personally, I am having a hard time seeing myself in a MkVI if what everyone is saying is true about build quality and quality of materials. Unfortunately, it looks as though a lot of it is true by looking at these pictures recently. I think I am going to have to see this car in person when it hits showrooms to make up my mind, but the prospect of coming out with a good impression of the new Jetta is not promising.
The only thing I like about those accessories so far is maybe the wheels....
