New city jetta

[Speed Cat]

I was at SSFC the other day when i saw the new City jetta pull out of the shop.

New front grill looks good, i did'nt really take a super good look at any thing else. For the price a good car in my books.

Re: New city jetta

Can someone explain the marketing concept behind this car. I understand that vw is trying to have a cheaper entry level car and all, but why keep basically the same name as another vechile in the line up? Why not call this car/ their entry level car, something completly different from the jetta/rabbit line? Again I understand it is based off the mk4 model and all, but really is there any other car manufacture that has the same name for 2 completely different lines of cars?

Im not ranting or anything, Im asking a serious question as to why they marketed it this way?

Re: New city jetta

It's not really a new line, it is a cross platform car of the same parts from the new and the old platforms....hence no change in the name.

Re: New city jetta

^^ why not name it JETTA FURY 2 or something like that...What if you go to the dealer and you tell the sales person, i wanna buy a City Jetta....which one does he think you mean?!

I agree with redmile on the name change.

Re: New city jetta

/\/\he will sell you a city jetta, and not a jetta. which is what you'd be asking for. otherwise, you'd be an uninformed consumer. they could call it entry jetta, quasimoto jetta, jettina, jetta light, jetter, 'lil jetta, cheap rattle box, CJ, re-jetta, doesn't really matter to me. it's one or the other. but i will agree it's wierd. i always hated mk4 jetta lights.

Re: New city jetta

I wonder is the price will be the same, or slowly make its way to 20K

Re: New city jetta

Both the 2008 City Jetta and Golf have gotten the Brazil refresh, which kind of makes them look a little odd, but it will distinguish them from regular MK4s now. The City program is something VW does in several markets to offer reliable products at a good price, look at a Citi Golf in South Africa it is still a MK1!

I recently helped my Mother-In-Law get a 2007 City Jetta and I think for the money it is a good car with lots of options and size.

I understand he would give me a city jetta but which one? haha They really should of changed the names. Now that i actually think about it, it looks like a safari vehicle.

Re: New city jetta

I believe base price went from $16700 to $16900 but the freight and pdi dropped down $100 because they are together as one now at $1335.

Re: New city jetta

I like everything except for the rear. Its not a bad car considering how the economy is shaping out to be now... And the increase in Calgary's population, its a smart idea to go for something like this as opposed to an Escalade or something big and sucks up gas
