I LOVE that car. That is most likely what I'll get in a few years.

[miamiDaveGLi]

:D SWEET you gotta take me for a ride when you score it !! what are the specs on that puppy ?

[GoodDayForADrive]

BEtter than the original at least

[TisforTurbo]

I'm not too sure about the styling, it looks just like the GTI V in front :? . I would DEFINITELY take the 2.oT in it though :twisted: .

[burn_your_money]

I don't know... kind of sketchy.

Those are some rims though :?

[Matty-O]

8O LOOK AT THOSE RIMS....... 8O

Uhmmm golf/gti and jettas have ALWAYS looked the same.

The motor they picture in that is the 2.0L Turbo. FSI. I'll bet the later years gli will probably get the 3.2L VR.... its inevitable! That car is so nice... It's going to be a lot better, and the back seat is going to have a lot more usable room.

Ohh and atleast the base engine will have the edge over most imports now. 2.5L 140hp... Not to shabidelic.

A friend of mine has an Audi A3 2005 with the 2.0T FSI, the sound at full thottle is nice even for a 4 cyl.

8O oooo more room in the back seat ! :D :D YESSS i want one
LMAO
im always going to be partial to the A2 IMO its one of the most beautiful cars designed :)
i think a reissue of the A2 chassis modernized would be my dream car!

[Gotturbo]

im very disapointed... but im sure it will grow on me like the mk4.

[TougeSpecialist]

My next car will definitely be a Japanese car......

[miamiDaveGLi]

My next car will definitely be a Japanese car...... :? come on touge you know that looks arent everything :P

[Gotturbo]

My next car will definitely be a Japanese car......

Are you trying to piss people off?

[Mr_Diesel]

My next car will definitely be a Japanese car......

Wow... One post and you are already pissing me off. You are welcome to leave our forum and go somewhere else.

[TougeSpecialist]

My honda is 9 years old and my jetta is 4 years; however, the honda has served me well. It has had no problems compared to my jetta.

Maybe this year or next year, im planning to get an acura rsx type s.....

[miamiDaveGLi]

:roll: lol

[Mr_Diesel]

:roll: lol

Speaking of the 3.8L VR6 going in the passat.... 8O

[TisforTurbo]

3.8 liters definitely gets a big 8O ! Any info on power figures?

[Mr_Diesel]

3.8 liters definitely gets a big 8O ! Any info on power figures?

I think they said 280hp?

[burn_your_money]

I think they said 280hp?

That's not that much 8O Only 5X more than my car....

[Calabi]

Back to the GLI...

That looks very nice. I like it a lot.

[DavidLara]

I was planning to upgrade to a bigger, more powerful car, maybe a Seat or something... but for some reason I still pretty happy with my jetta whatever you may think with slush matics and 2.0...

All friends here bought rice because in Mexico hondas or toyotas are uncommon... honestly I don't like them, even when they're good cars.

The new GLI is just sick... I think I will better wait and see them on the streets and possibly get one, what do you think will be the real price for one of those when new???? somebody told me they will be around 28K USD...

[Getta8v]

i like the votex for it...but i dont like those wheels very much but I still dig the GTI. Id probably get one in White.

[2002maniac]

I think the new Jetta looks like a camry and the new GTi looks like a new civic! They are ugly! For me, vw died in 1992...

Well... You also have to consider the facts. VW is not the only car manufacturer that has changed dramaticly since the early 90's. Compare the ford taurus... They have changed for the worst. BMW even... BMW, in my opinion has changed for the worse since the early 90's. There are also factors like, more efficient and cleaner running vehicle requirements. A 92 VW is a lot dirtier than the new Volkswagens. VW has kind of lost sight of their cheap and well built drivetrain mentality. VW started in 55' because they wanted to provide a car that was really cheap, got great gas mileage, and was fun to drive. Now they are trying to move up in class

And now I am out of time at work, so I'll finish my rant later.

That's why I think most people liked VW. They weren't like the rest of the car companies. I understand them wanting to move up a class and all that, but I think they should just create a new car company and rather then move up with it, start at the level they want to be at and leave the VW a cheap, well built, great gas mileage car that is fun to drive.

They did...In 1965 VW purchased the Auto Union Audi. The 4 rings which symbolizes the union of 4 german automakers. Audi has always been the more classy car, but recently, it look like vw is trying to move up along with audi. In europe, they are still the cheap reliable car we know. Look at the lupo for crying out loud. A 3 cylinder 1.2L TDI that gets 2.9L per 100km (80mpg), and still manages to crank out 45kw (60hp). I dunno... I like the New Jettas, but in no way shape or form can they be compared to the old VW's

[burn_your_money]

I knew/know about Audi, but I think VW should keep it's market base wider instead of narrowing it to the upper more class. Poor people like me can't afford the new cars :( Not that I want one, not even the Lupo (although the torque is nice) There is just way way to much that could go wriong with it, and I doubt my skills as a mechanic (LOL) would be able to repair anything that broke on it.

Well... get used to it, cause all cars are like that nowadays. It's only going to get worse too. Imagine what kinda **** is going to be in cars with fuel cells?

[miamiDaveGLi]

well either way its not like i can afford a new car anytime in the near future
im sure if i owned one i woudent be complaning about the looks or anything lol. all in all its still a vw and they make great cars. :D
and a 2.0 turbo 8O woot! im smelling new engine swap possibilitys
