Yes, it is true. I'm even finding it hard to believe. I am about 24 hours away from finalizing the purchase on a Jetta GLI, (no its not the 2004). VW has great offers right now on 2003 Jetta's. I am trading in the GTI, mostly because of the impracticality for my wife and I. Also, I really like the fact GLI is a bit more luxurious and smoother. Oh, the 6 speed don't hurt either.
I saw on an earlier debate about the 1.8t vs the 2.8. Well, as far as I'm concerned I believe that 2.8 engine is so much smoother with a strong power band. PLUS NO TURBO LAG. That's what i prefer. Anyways, i'll post once everything is done.

p.s. if your wondering what vw's I've owned so far, here they are:
June 1994 - 1994 Jetta MKIII 2.0 GL
November 1998 - 1999.5 Jetta IV 2.0 GL
June 1999- 1999 JettaIV VR6 GLS
June 2002 - 2002 VW GTI 1.8t
March 2004 - Jetta GLI?????????
Plus I would consider the Audi A4 a VW so in real fact I've owned 5vw's going on my 6th.
