The lower grille treatment, cheapens the look.

Wow, what a bland, boring and depressing car.

Debadge it, change the grill slightly, and nobody would ever know it was a VW as well, the design is just that bland...

[classicjetta]

So is this replacing the MkII?

[200HP4dr]

So which generation Corolla is this again?

That is a boring car. Wow...it looks like something you'd expect to see in 2001.

What is it about cars carrying the same name, but look otherwise completely different in other markets?

I understand all of the need to probably get a good price point, but I just don't understand why there is such a difference?

It bears next to no resemblance to the Jetta produced everywhere else, except for the fact that it has four doors.

This replaces the Chinese Jetta, which is the oooold Mk2 Jetta. So think of it as parallel evolution.

Is it wrong that I kind of like this?

[caj1]

Are they eying up the car or the dog?

[maloosheck]

OT: I wonder how long I have to hold on to my '85 Jetta to sell it for the MSRP

[borapumpkin]

that has to be the worst looking vw ever.

[Jordan 191]

First time ever TCL hasn't asked that a new Polo be sold here.

[czykvw]
