That said, I'm glad to see this will get the 2.0L TDI. It means that some years down the line perhaps I can convince my bf to consider one of these as a possible alternate to a hybrid -- he currently drives a 2004 Prius but is quite interested in TDIs as well. Certainly I think this would be more practical, and there would be no worry about the battery pack failing down the line... and the interior is a heck of a lot more interesting than the Prius interior.

I, however, will not cancel my GTI order for this. I don't see any mention of some of the goodies the GTI gets (although I would expect the TDI to get the DSG) and as we know now, the dual-zone Climatronic is going away after '07, period. Too bad, because he's a native Floridian and what feels great to me is a bone-chilling arctic wind to him.

tint, drop, gti front. kept the wheels the same size.
...still looks fat. needs bigger wheels.

The rear end looks okay to me. I'm just confused over how much space it has:

The styling of this new wagon appears to be a mix of current Golf/Jetta and Saab-esque design ques with large wraparound rear tailamps that are a departure from anything else VW currently offers. Gone too is the slab-sided look of the Jetta IV wagon in favor or a "sportier" looking rear end treatment. Interior volume with the seats folded down is still considerable at nearly 55 cubic feet and larger than the Volvo V50 (46 cu. ft.), the Jetta Wagon's only real competitor in this segment.

Aside from offering the sporty feel and fun to drive performance of a Jetta, the SportWagen opens up a new world of possibilities in the way of usable cargo room— 32.8 cubic feet to be exact, or an even more impressive 66.9 cubic feet with the rear seat folded down. For those whose active lifestyle requires even more room, there is an optional fold-flat front passenger seat that provides additional cargo space. Fold-flat front passenger seat is available with “V-Tex” leatherette seating.

The other photos from the golf/jetta wagon annoucment do it much better justice, althouth I too am not a fan of the odd wrap around tails (very honda-ish)

I want to buy a dump truck, fill it with gravel, and then drive on the highway in front of other dump trucks and break their windshields.

All wagon's aspire to have pictures of themselves posted in this thread..I know mine does

If manual trannies are available, will they only be 5 speeds or will with certain motors will you be able to get a 6 speed???

As with all VWs, I'm sure it will be much more impressive in person.
