Replying to: vwgreg (Jul 10, 2009 5:29 am) Even the big East Coast, 'Benchmark' online dealer Fitzmall is getting harder to deal with these days, an identical TDI model I was tracking has had a price increase of almost $3,000 over a month ago. (there goes your "Cash for Clunkers" advantage. Thing is, the 2010's are due to hit the lots this fall with several improvements over the current Jetta. ( Like, steering wheel controls for the Sportwagon and standard Bluetooth in all, even my $10,000 cheaper, Nissan Versa has that ) GearHead Gossip has tracked some info that the Jetta TDI is going to get a full, frame up overhaul for 2011. If you can wait, I'd wait.

Expect VW style and technology in a larger vehicle with number and dumber handling. VW is at the start of a drive to triple their sales in the US. If I had to wait until 2011 to buy a diesel VW, a Golf or Polo would likely be my choice. If the past is any indicator of the future, best deals on 2010 Jetta will be available from February thru April of 2010 for the 2010 model year.

Replying to: vwgreg (Jul 10, 2009 12:51 pm) Sounds like a good plan to me. Right now the VW Jetta is sized along with the Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra, etc. Without getting into the 'Diesel Thing', I imagine that many new car shoppers just don't get the premium prices and skimpy VW warranties on a car in that size range. Lots of VW owners have complained about the cramped space in the back seat of the Jetta, while the competition has made their cars with less trunk space and better 'people' space. The Jetta has been slowly growing bigger over the years, but so has the rest of the compacts in that catagory. Breaking up into the Camry/Accord size and replacing the Jetta size with the 'Polo' makes good sense. It's not even that big of a jump, and if nothing else it might get Honda back to the drawing board on their own version of their well recieved EURO Accord TDI, for the N. American market. From a car buyers point of view, I say, bring it on, the more TDI's to chose from the better. |

Here in MD, I live minutes from Fitzmall and have tried 14 or so other dealers looking for a TDI DSG sportwagon. The only one willing to sell below MFG suggested window sticker price is a dealer (many miles away) selling a stripped model without sunroof, etc. I am so mad, I hope they all go out of business! The whole idea of supply and demand makes me want to buy a bicycle (if work were not so far).
