and black grill.... maybe they should have offered textured rubstrips too? lol

I dont think the headlights are "Joey modded". I think that is just the lighting playing tricks, but that is most certainly a black grill... more accurately it is probably unpainted to cut down on costs.

Pretty cool option if you wanted to build your own beast! at only 14900 you could afford some really good engine swaps and accesories.

I dunno, I actually think its not cheap enough. For getting a model designed (essentially) in what.. 1998? 1997? Ten years.

The all new 2006 Hyundai Sonata only comes in at like 17,000 with a 165hp 2.4L 4?

Re: City Golf 14,900?

they should put the cubby hole in above the radio, it would look much better then a blank face like that... more useful anyway.

Re: City Golf 14,900?

Well actually a Sonata is $21,995 to start, an Accent is cheaper at $13,495 to start and here is what you get:

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

* 1.6L MPI DOHC Engine

* 5-Speed Manual Transmission

* 14" Steel Wheels with Full Wheel Covers

* Power Rack-and-Pinion Steering

SAFETY FEATURES

* Dual Front Airbags

* Seatbelt Pre-tensioners

INTERIOR FEATURES

* AM/FM/CD/MP3 Stereo with 4 Speakers

* Driver's 8-way Adjustable Seat

* 60/40 Split Folding Rear Seats

* Rear Seat Armrest with Cupholder

EXTERIOR FEATURES

* Tinted Glass with Sunshade Band

* Micro Antenna

Now the City Golf is over $1,000 more but I think you are getting more space, power and features.

But they won't meet requirements in california therefor we all get screwed.
I didn't see the jetta city comming but it does look like a cheap option. I am going ot have to pick up some of those blank cover plates for the cup holder and radio and hack them up for some mods

Personally if I were in charge of one of those auto manufacturing groups, I'd just stop selling any cars in California. See if they still want to try to pass the bill for this problem when they can't get any new vehicles in the state.

I agree that Global warming is a concern, and that cars are a huge contribution to the overall level of greenhouse gasses... But it's not like they were lying about the levels of emissions on their vehicles (as far as I know.). To the best of my knowledge, they met or exceeded the requirements for emissions in California - If not, then maybe I can see justifying this lawsuit.

Frivolous as it seems to me right now, based on what I know (which admittedly isn't a heck of a lot ); at least it will bring more attention to the problem I suppose.

The population of California is pretty close to the population of Canada

Why sell cars in a whole other country? Too much hassle, they should quit selling cars here too.

They can't just ignore 35 million people.

Re: City Golf 14,900?

hehe, true. I'm likely underestimating the amount of money these car manufacturers are making from those car sales. Just figured that if you're being sued billions of dollars, it wouldn't be profitable. Then again, from that point of view, they'll be sued for past sales.

This just seems like the typical 'hrm, lets sue Them! Oh, how about them!" response in America. Ugh, I hate it.

And back on topic, I definetly like the idea of a city golf. If I hadn't already bought one in sept, I'd be heading to the dealerships right away to find it. I do worry about the resale of my car a bit... but luckily I don't plan on selling for a long time. (And I keep telling myself the tdi will help to hold it's value.

Autoblog explained it will

In the US, VW dealers will be more than happy to sell you one of the new Rabbits, GTIs, or Jettas. Ask for one of the last-generation cars, however, and you'll likely be directed to a pre-owned area, where there should be plenty of off-lease examples to choose from. If you cross the border into Canada, it's a different story entirely. You see, the old Golf and Jetta are still available as 2007 models ... right alongside the new Rabbit and Jetta.

The 2007 City Golf starts at $14,900 CAD ($13,203 USD), while the City Jetta opens at $16,700 CAD ($14,797 USD). At this point, you're wondering why anyone would buy the old cars when the Rabbit starts at $14,990 USD. Simple: In Canada, the Rabbit is a lot more expensive, with a starting price of $19,990 CAD for the 3-door. That's $17,720 USD.

VW Canada execs decided that 20 grand was too high an asking price to simply get into a VW, and so the City Golf and City Jetta were born. As for the cars themselves, everything should be familiar. They get the 115-horsepower 2.0L underhood, and the interiors and exteriors are unchanged from the cars we remember. Actually, check that: they do get "City" badging in back. The City Golf is built in Brazil and the City Jetta comes from Mexico. Both cars come with a nice set of standard equipment and offer decent fuel economy to boot. They still look good, too.

Re: City Golf 14,900?

i didn't put 2 and 2 together till tonight.

i was snooping around SCFC lot last week and amongst the cars there was a city jetta.
i didn't see the back end. but the car had GLI joey modded headlights and a black grill. i thought it was a trade in at first but it had the wheel cover's on as well as shrink wrap on the doors.

when i was there i also noticed an EOS defenetly a nice car. i saw it this morning heading eastbound on glenmore. lady driving, black in color (the car not the woman) defenetly a nice ride.
