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.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
