Umm, it's their bread and butter car in the US. So of course they are going to make a big deal about it. Just because people here in the CL have a good idea of its likely appearance, it doesn't mean that everyone does. VW should make a big deal about this car. I just hope they have some plans to offer a sporty version of it. I'll be interested in knowing the official story on the motors as well--hopefully all of that will be revealed on the 15th. So yeah, I'm moderately interested in knowing the story on the Jetta.
 
Nope. It's the 115hp 2L from the MK4.

It will get an upgrade for 2012 though.
Can't be. That engine can't support DI, which the 2012 Jetta will have. There would be no reason to bring it back when they have a DI-capable 2.0L block already in production worldwide.
 
The Canadian order guide has already been leaked.

2.slow
2.5
2L TDI
Oh that's no good at all--assuming the US gets the same motors. Is the tdi at least the higher output european version or the same 150hp motor that they have now? I hope the enthusiasts get rewarded down the line with some R model of the either the Jetta or (more likely) the golf. At this point in time, there really isn't a single VW that I would buy new either due to lack of interest or an exhorbitant price. An R is about the only VW I could see myself buying new at this point---assuming they actually bring another version over.
