VW Teases the Upcoming Jetta

With the redesigned Jetta coming out at the start of next year, Volkswagen has started its teasing regimen.

Volkswagen’s Canadian website now features a pretty revealing gif of the Jetta. Although bathed in darkness, the animated gif shows a light moving over the car, showing off some of its lines and, well, it looks an awful lot like a Jetta.

The grille is a little different, the headlights a little more angled, and the roof a little more raked, but there’s nothing earth-shattering here, something we already knew because of a leak a few months back.

Our very own Chris Compton found out earlier this year that the Mk7 Jetta would premiere at the North American International Auto Show, at the beginning of January. Volkswagen’s North American president Hinrich Woebcken described it as “super modern” “strong” and “emotional.”

“We have given the car a North American ‘touch’ but not always in terms of low cost and less content, but in much more specific needs of the market,” said Woebcken. “The Jetta will be, for me, a symbolic statement that Volkswagen is changing by really allowing to listen to American customers, American dealers, what the market needs.”

Rumors also suggest that an R-Line will be available from launch and that a GLI will be offered about a year later.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
