I seem to be in the minority, but I don’t think the new wagon looks too bad. I have an ’08 Jetta, and I love it. The styling may be a tad bland, but it has kind of grown on me. It’s got a certain subdued, organic, quality Euro-car look to it, that I find calming in a world of swoopy fins, spoilers, and “New Edge” body lines and creases. But then again, I’m 43 years old, and I don’t even like my rock music too loud anymore either. Maybe the Mark V Jetta was desigend for an older, more mature (and more affluent) buyer this time around, you know, to steer people towards a Passat as they get older? Kind of like GM used to steer Chevy owners upstream, towards Pontiacs, and then to Buicks and Caddies. In any event, I’ll be looking at the new SportWagen in a year or two, when my Jetta’s paid off.

I gotta say that I’m diggin on the GTI & Rabbit, but the Jetta never really grew on me. It’s a shame, cause I really dug the Mark IV.
