Personally, I think the new Jetta looks very sharp.

I like it too.

Too bad that same front end treatment on the Golf/GTi didn't sit that well with me (mostly because the previous front end and overall car looked better to me exterior wise).

Many aspects of that Jetta point to Corrola influences rather than accord imo.

I don't think it is a bad looking car, it just looks like a photoshopped Accord. VW/Audi have probably the least creative exterior styling team in the auto industry (except the bug)

I agree. I don't think it looks terrible, just kind of generic.

My thoughts too... I don't see anything wrong with it at all...

NOthing special, but nothing hideous or anything, IMO.

Re: What happens when a VW and Accord have sex

It appears that the new trend is to make them bigger, larger, heavier, with more powerful engines... Every econobox car that was released in the 70's or 80's has grown in size so that it's no longer econo, it's mid-size. Look at how tiny Corollas used to be, now they're larger. Accords were smaller, Jetta was old Fox, and now became this barge.

We were complaining about the overhang on the back of the Mustang. Look at this rear overhang, it throws the proportions the rest of the car off.

Does anyone know if this is this a North American model only? Much like we have a European Accord and North American Accord.

The Jetta has never been tremendously popular in Europe. Despite frequent name changes (Vento...then Bora...) Europeans remain unconvinced by the idea of a Golf-with-a-truck.

Yep. Looks like a classier version of the Mazda 6. If this is priced like the current Jetta, should be a big seller.
