  • ok first. what GLI mean? and whats the difference from the other trims? and my dad keeps asking me why VW is always behind the interior techs? like the navi and stuffs? any1 have any idea why? he keeps telling me the "asian" cars(toyota,honda) have nice features.

  • I agree, that the MK4's were the hottest looking (very German and Euro look). When I see a GTI 337 or the original R32, I need to restrain my bladder!

  • What a WATERED DOWN look the GLI has! Looks like a plain jane Jetta. And sound system by Fender? WHAT? Should have been Harman Kardon or McIntosh, or some high end audio company. Fender makes guitars and amps for chrissakes! Ridiculous.

  • FUCK YEAH I GOT MINE !! !THIS CAR IS AMAZING

  • que NAVE!!! LOCOO!!! saludos desde ARGENTINA!! aguante VW!!

  • Tornado red 2004.5 gli is where it's at. That is until someone totals it on you...

  • This mk6 is shit I rep an mk5 and am getting a mk4 next the mk4s are the best

  • ill keep my '98 ;)

  • the car doesn't even scream that its fast I wont to see the car scream I am faster then hell its self.

  • I'd take this over an eff'n Hyundai/Kia ANY DAY.

  • the new Jetta sucks, such a plain design that hyndai and Kia can beat very easly...

  • I love my mk4 1.8t, but I saw one of these in red at the dealership. I'm now debating trading in for it.

  • the 2010-present Volkswagen Jetta is assembled in

    Puebla, Mexico

    Aurangabad, India

    Jakarta, Indonesia

  • gives us a jetta r

  • I think now days VW designers are smoking to much crack before they're designing cars. I mean, where are the side skirts? Where are the trunk spoilers and the body kit? Best looking GLIs were 2004 MK4 GLIs

  • @Budalla2009 if they did that it would look like an audi. they cant do that

  • i have 2007 GLI i will get this one w/paddle shifters as soon as available at my dealer

  • nice but i rather my MK4 VR6

  • Why go to all the trouble of making such a snazzy commercial for a car without peddling a manual transmission? Bleh.

  • Pedestrian...

  • but isn't that the base version of the jetta? wouldn't this one be basically the same as the MKV GLI?  only a newer exterior and interior stuff?

  • This is awful. So much for a car with personality.

    I guess MKV was the last to get it right...

  • that car is so boring. Wow, VW sold its soul for a buck. What a shame.

  • Cost cutting at its best.. the new Volkswagen Jetta; Even Gino Bambino don't want it no more.

  • I'm a classic vw fan but they shouldn't have lowered the quality to compete with Honda and Toyota... U already beat them vw! U had better quality better looks better interior and better fuel Milagros but now u have drum breaks a rear torsion bar instead of independent suspension and hard plastics.. Why?!??? U were perfect the way u were but u ruined the jetta :(

  • i wanna trade my 09 GLI in right now!! for this!

  • @chillaxer1993 um why????

    Have you seen the MKVI Jetta up close? it's built like a Corolla compared to your MKV. I'm sure the GLI is the same way.

  • That is clean.

    I just that the normal 09 jetta hahah

  • the front grill doesnt look inspiring....the front looks like the polo....the rear three quarters looks wow...

  • LOL what's fender got to do with volkswagen?

  • what happen with the bixenon head lights? that's a step back!

  • I like the new Mk6 front ends better than the Mk5's but nothing will ever top the old Mk4's IMO.

  • what does it matters if its madae in mexico or not it´s the same deal, or you prefer brazilian quality

  • Same boring Volkswagen. In the past 10 years volkswagen has produced nothing in terms of Innovation and Style. Volkswagen brags about their monetary success, VW thinks people are stupid.

    Volkswagen in german means ` Refried car , that uses chunks of a previous car in the platform, same boring lines and interiors just like another VW out there`

    Volkswagen also means `shame`

  • @jjbarbados Volkswagen means people's car. Been selling for them for over a year now and by no means a boring car. sorry you feel like that

  • Owned an 08 Rabbit 2 door 5 speed and loved it-nice ride and design, lease was expiring and it was time to do something. I was shown a Jetta '11 sedan and it looked like Jap car made in Mexico- no thrills. Looked at the '11 Golf and it looked Jap with a higher sticker price and made in Mexico. Ended up with a Mexican Jetta Sportwagen S cause it was better bang for the deflating buck--but it aint a Rabbit. Conclusion is that I HATE GLOBALISM and what it is doing. I LEASED A MEXICAN CAR by VW.

  • @andyjaconuts lmao I want to cry but i cant..... the truth hurts oh god whyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

  • I really like Vw's new look

  • Doesn't anyone else think that the back of the new Jetta resembles the previous generation Kia Optima??

  • @saab93driver Stop it!!! Please!!!

  • @flex215 sorry but it def does, very similar tail lights

  • Where is the WOW?

  • @remig1209 I guess its in the sound system...... maybe the interior

  • Damn, the old audi and volkswagens used to have character, now they just all look the same.

  • It looks like an upgraded 2002 Accord.

  • I have to weit till 2012 :(

  • I miss my MkIV GTI. I don't want this soft piece of Americanized-Euro-Junk. Dear VW, there is a reason why your sales stink, we want German Engineered vehicles, with the same equipment offered in Europe, not a watered down piece o'junk.

  • @captwalmart but do you want to pay the same price people pay in europe?

  • @mazinais31 If thats what it takes. There is a reason why I now drive a Lexus.

    

  • It looks like an Audi..

  • I hope it gets xenon headlights that alone will draw me away if they don't have that at least as an option. I feel like its a downgrade from the previous generation.

  • @ride1157 i agree

  • sweet german

  • i dont know how i feel about it yet.... i am getting ready to trade the golf.. i prefer two doors but may go for a GTI instead if i dont like the GLI in person... please tell me this thing will have plaid seats

  • NOW THATS DAS AUTO

  • LOWER IT!

  • Wow. This car is UGLY and not worth the premium price. I have owned Jettas (III, IV, V) and one Touareg. If VW had done due diligence, it would not be parading this car as a GLI. What a travesti! A GLI must have premium stuff like HIDs, leather, and rocking ground effects. Pitiful that KIA and HYUNDAI are turning better designs and performance. Fender stereo? LOL! NO ONE CARES....well, maybe the geek chick in the commercial does!

  • @VonHerndawg It's supposed to be a sports car, not a shiny toy. The old GLI came in cloth. If you just want 'rocking ground effects' go get a dropped civic.

  • Very plain/bland... The Mk 4's were the best 

  • sounds like tron

  • What's up with this music? Fender audio system suck azz music!

  • @fndrtlcstr FENDER ;)

  • I'm drooling, thanks VW. I like the style just fine, unlike the other car designers leaving comments here.

  • @vincef329 i love how vw ripped off the lancer front end and the kia optima for the rest of the shape. i wonder how much money they paid koreans to design it. judging by how ugly it looks, obviously not enough!

  • love the car , hate the video

  • love the car , hate the ved

  • Una buona pubblicità deve far ridere...poi la musica di questo spot....è veramente brutta....molto meglio quello di Star Wars.....!!!!

  • And on a side note, yes they are built in Mexico. Anyone that can read a door sill/or window sticker should know that!

  • wonder why they didn't put HID's (type of headlights) into the new model? For that reason alone makes me want to keep my 06 GLI. The way the HID lights up the road at night is 1000x's better than any halogen head light

  • @whitewaterhiker keep the 06, this piece of shit isn't what they promised, see they're already skimping out on HIDs, perhaps the best feature of the old GTis and GLis is their HID DRLs. now they give $2 reflectors again? fucking LOL! $25 grand for this piece of shit can buy you an MS3, WRX, 300hp mustang, Gen coupe, accord coupe, the list goes on and on.. why support this faggotry? oh and did i mention that it's a rip straight from the Kia optima? don't believe me, google it!

  • @fndrtlcstr Adorei!

    

  • My Jetta GLI is 2008 and i like mine body style better then the new one

  • this gorgeous car is proudly built in México!!!

  • Fender? Häää?

  • GLI? it was better with T - GTi :D

  • @xexas3000 GLI is the sedan GTI is the hatchback

  • Thumbs up if u think this car is awesome. If u don't, go have your eyes checked by a licenced technician.

  • ok is it just me does this car remind of an audi

  • @pikku81 Well that's because they are related Audi it's the luxury brand from VW.

  • @Fredjersey2008 i know that all i am saying is that they should have done soomething unique

  • @pikku81 VW can't do that. They're too conservative, too scared of making drastic changes

  • this car ain't made in Germany...Its Mexican yo!

  • liebes vw-team!Warum bekommen wir deutschen das gerät nicht?Kein Jetta GTI/R????Ich denke genau das fehlt um den Jetta auch hierzulande an den mann zu bekommen!Mal ganz abgesehen von der Preispolitik(siehe US-Passat)

  • Mexicans hands in a German car, Good manufacturing, showing the way

  • Volkswagen finally brought sexy back!

  • And where are the HID, the cortesy lights, the GLI emblem on the whell , the headlight washer, the led tailligths? c'on VW and overall all the stuff that made the MKV GLI a step forward from all the cars by the time when it was released...

  • half audi(look at the rear)

  • needs a power upgrade 200hp is getting weak these days, oh and bring back the VR6!

  • @gooferman609 1.8T!

    You know the battle. ;)

  • @tanddproductions 24v ftw! get that weaksauce outta here!

  • @lindseyhillsbery Hahaha. Like I said... You know the battle.

    VR6 guys and girls will always frown upon the 1.8T and vice versa.

    We can only agree to disagree. :-P

  • I have to say that this is a good try by the VW team but I expected something more sportier like the GTI MKVI, I think that the best looking Jetta so far is the MKIV (any version). Here in Mexico the Jetta MKIV stills being sold as the Jetta Clasico and it has been redesigned, the GLI version looks better than this one from my point of view, the only downside is that still packs the 1.8T engine (not bad) rather than the 2.0T from the GTI but you can still tune the ECU ;)

  • This new Jetta will replace what we call "Bora" in Mexico, actually I own a Bora and I'm very happy with it ... proper maintenance and that's it!!

  • It looks like an A4, damnit VW is screwin Audi up!

  • @simnikiwe1 who do you think owns Audi

  • @skullcandy071 VW owns Audi, but they should come up with new fresh ideas for the facelift of the jetta. not copy and paste from the A4

  • @simnikiwe1 I couldnt agree with you more but I think the front end does not look that bad. It is a major change from the MKV Jetta's. But the back of the new Jetta's is horrible. It looks exactly the same as a A4. Just missing the LED tail lights. i dont know what Volkswagen was thinking but I wont be trading in my MKV 2.0T Jetta anytime soon.

  • 2 Jettas, 2 oil failures, 2 cars to the junkyard. No more of em for me

  • @scbikerdude get a corolla or civic

  • @scbikerdude Learn to change your oil?

  • @scbikerdude VWs in a nutshell.. Known in Europe for faults and problems, ESPECIALLY the 2005 Passat.. now there's a "new" one.. Pff, I doubt it's any better.. VW are conservative, and arrogant as they don't seem to be resolving issues.. They live off their name and rediculously high maintanence and repair bills

  • no me convence mucho, creo el MKV tiene mas caracteristicas que este, quitaron faros bixenon, y dos ke tres cosas interesantes que traia

  • It seems like the newest Jetta, GLI or otherwise, is kind of based on 80's design trends inside and out. That can work if done in kind of a cool retro way, but this just seems a little boring and dated. Maybe they should have modeled it more along the lines of their latest Golf/GTI offerings.

  • @b286guy Again, VWs in a nutshell.. making a new.. or "new" car, but full of outdated lines... They're too conservative, too afraid of making drastic changes, and their interior designs are a few years behind everyone else. VW should seriously consider hiring a completely new design team.. They lack WOW factor

  • Fender

  • SICK

    

  • I like new design line vw!! bravo for designers

  • Why no offset frontal collision with bus at highway speeds?

  • 2012 ?? pfft the design looks old..

  • better a jetta made in germany then an chevrolet made in korea hahaha

  • @Amy1977 The Jetta in sold in the US will be built in México. :)

  • @Amy1977 dont u mean, a jetta made in mexico?

  • i still like my 03 better ;) thumbs up if u pushin a 24V

  • @Amy1977 You do know this is built in Mexico, right...?

  • @Amy1977 Although I agree with you, you should know that the VW's sold in the US and Canada are made in Mexico.

  • @ptnoddy That is not true. Jetta's (wagons and sedans) are made in Mexico. Golf's, Passat's and Touareg's are made in Germany. The routan is a Chrysler product made in US and Canada.

    It is good to get one's facts straight before making flase statements.

  • @fleuger99 Please refer to wikipedia List_of_Volkswagen_Group_facto­ries

  • @Amy1977 this piece of shit is made in mexico

    lol @ this piece of shit that's $25 grand with NO HIDS shitty vtex seats, shitty fag 200hp engine, ugly ass wheels and fog lights?

    why buy this piece of garbage when you could get real performance cars like an MS3, wrx, genesis coupe or plenty of others that have better luxury, performance and reliability.

    another epic fail from vw. i imagine lots of cunts will be driving this one!

  • @Amy1977 the jetta is made in mexico

  • @Amy1977 Isn't the jetta built in Mexico?

  • @ChristewieTV Jettas and Golfs are, but the high performance models are usually made in Germany. I have a GTI that was made in the Wolfsburg plant in Germany.

  • @Block2Productionsmov The Jetta and the beetle are built in Mexico. 

  • @Block2Productionsmov maybe since it's a GTI, but the GLI has it's parts manufactured in Germany but the assembly takes place in Mexico.

  • @Amy1977 Lol. Yeah, too bad they assemble them in Mexico now days...

  • @belaruski Wrong! They're made in Chatanooga USA.

  • this is a german car....

    and it is better then the english :o

    das is ein deutsches auto....

    und es ist besser als die englishen :o

  • Looks like a Mazda in the front, Jetta in the back. Interior looks completely basic and boring. I own a 2005 Jetta and have always admired the look of the model until recent years. Doesn't look like my next car's going to be a VW. Ashame.

  • @project1090 totaly agree. i am so glad i bought the 2009 Jetta. and I think this will be my last one unless they go back to there old ways of making cars

  • No Bi-xenon???sucks

  • fail

  • not badass

  • @luketiger87 volkswagen: peoples car.

  • @AnnMasciarelli Yeah, Right... Not for those prices they charge! workshop bills included!

  • Wicked. I thought I saw an adaptive chassis control button.

  • no xenon...:S?? i think it's still a downgrade

  • no xenon?

  • Bring back the VR6(24v 2.8L or even the 3.2L) but up the power 200hp so little power from today's technology come on VW make the GTI/GLI actually competitive on the street with say a cobalt ss and easier to blow honda's away. and that front end is hideous

  • golf+audi=jeta 2012:)

  • such a sexy car... rawr.

  • eww

  • that was an awesomely cheesy video

  • 2 people own a HOnda

  • @TheKoalaJuice i own a vw and a honda. lol

  • @Mashado same here! haha

  • 100 liker its me

  • Sweet!!!....does it come in a V6??

  • @dbt07 Not yet, still uses the GTI's 2.0 Turbo TSI motor

  • MUSIC SUCKS

  • the idea of fender car audio system sound awesome to me, but hand on heart guys - in a volkswagen? wouldn't you expect the raw power of Fender in a muscle car rather than in a VW?

  • i want one with a whammy spoiler LoL

  • Did everyone of the design team fall asleep at the the wheel? First the Jetta gets vanilla-fied, then the Passat, and now the GLI? What's next??

  • Fender = ROCK!

    WTH with Tecno music?

  • The music blows!

  • the MKIV is still the gold standard of GLI's in my opinion

  • @mwurman Well i think the step from mkIII->mkiv you are right. Feeling and optic really improved. But the quality of the early mkiv´s (generally not only jetta) was really really bad. Not sure if there is a big difference between your location and here in germany.. but there were a lot of problems. But i really loved mine:D But it is a good idea to know the issues of the mkiv´s and keep an eye on this and that ;D

  • Why does the back look so much like the Lexus ISF mixed with the Audi A4?

  • @jonathanwtsoi Lexus ISF copies European designs if u haven't notice for the paste decade. secondly 2011 jetta is designed by the same person who designed Audi R8. so Lexus did copy Audi in some way? <-- research & knowledge #ftw

  • @Furiouz7 btw i said A4 not R8 :D, just saying

  • @jonathanwtsoi i know =P but either A4 or R8 still audi, and R8 guy designed jetta 2011 soo ya =p plus ISF doesn't look luxury compare to audi bmw, or benz, even tho it doesn't look like a cheap car. but not quite there yet

  • @Furiouz7 True true :/

  • @jonathanwtsoi ever heard of VAG?

  • looks like an audi

  • VW=epic

  • hell, i think I would like it more with HID like the GTI

  • Fender audio? truly epic

  • only problem: The tailights are ugly imo

  • Is fuckin' cool!

  • No Xenon headlights what the hell VW of America.

  • the 2008 GLI looks way better in my opinon. This looks soften up. 

  • Das es good, yah ? !! Excellent !!

  • 4 MOTION PLEASE!?!

  • @Nordic

    No shit. Its been like tgat since ages ago. They are the same car...cept the trunk.

  • Definitely looks better then the other Jetta trim's as C&D said it would. Also, Do Want!
