Re: SAW A THE NEW VOLKSWAGEN JETTA CITY WITH PASSAT FRONT END ! (jayvee203)

this is just like the new 'new beetles'.... They got a face lift in 2006, but are still the ol' MKIV chassis underneath.

Oh and the new 'new beetle' has a 2.5 in it. Depending on the market, it wouldn't surprise me to see that in the '08 City models.

I would be surprised.
This car is supposed to compete with various other city cars that we get up here, so having the minimal fuel consumption is absolutely necessary. Most of the cars that the city is competing against qualify for government rebates due to their high efficiency, the city does not, so I think the entire purpose of bringing this face-lifted version was to make buying the vw city models more attractive (so you are no longer getting a car with a design that is 8 years old).

If thats the case, then it should come out with the Diesel Engine. If it does, I'll be the first one buying the car !
I love the 1.9L engine !
