STUD or DUD: LEAKED! Is Volkswagen's All-New Jetta Going To Take Down The Competition?

hhmmm.......doesn't look like a winner to me

It looks like it wants to be an AUDI but not quite there!!!!!!!!

Stud. Looks much better and sharper than current bland and boring design.
Though the front end looks little bit like Lexus HS and rear end looks like previous Audi A4.

JUGNU

how can you look at those pictures and say its not bland that has to be one of the most boring Jetta designs ever made and in this class it really looks bland by comparison...

jettas have always been fugly till now...

my first thought was "volvo"

looks nothing like a Volvo

solid if uninspired design. it will do quite well in the US if priced right

boring - dud

I like the current one better. And the one before that even better!

It's boring but I'm sure it will drive nice...

She's not good looking but she's got a great personality.

I don't know. VW's have always had a distinctive design, like it or not. This design seems to have alot of Japanese influence, and to me, looks more mundane and un-VW-like.

Neither stud nor dud. Its is nice, very Audi-esque and also very bland. Looks like it could've been designed a few years ago. Compared to its competition its not gonna turn many heads.

Nice. But "nice" can be dull.

Looks only...ok. Better than the awkward current design but the rounded and stubby looking front end doesn't seem to mesh well with the angular design of the headlights and grille openings. They missed the mark IMO cuz the NCC concept was much better looking, somehow.
I'll be waiting for the Golf R if we ever get it

...I found a few more pics on the topspeed.com post, though they're not "in the flesh" pictures the car might have potential. With VW's newly announced R division maybe they can sex it up a bit. We'll see.

So so boring the competitions is strong so what are you waiting for wake up VW ,even korean cars showing a better design now.

The jetta has always been boring, nothing will ever change that. Just like every other vw product, its a german toyota--a snore to look at.

The VW CC is very nice to look at, not every VW product is boring

I think it look really good for a VW and it remind me of the last Generation Audi A4 Sedan. One of the thing that I really hate about automakers nowday is that there cheaper or Not premium brand look to similar to their Premium cars.

Good job VW

Looks too Japanese.

eh, not bad but not great either.

Less Corolla like, more Audi-like. That's good, but not good enough to be a stud.

it looks good! its very simple looking, maybe a lil too simple looking.

How is this considered a "LEAK". Weren't the pictures officially released all over the web today?

Looks generic, definitely does not have that "Jetta" appeal.

Its very nice for a Jetta and thats all there is to say.

It looks nice, just does nothing for me... I'd rather take the new Hyundai Sonata... seems to be the only car in this class with any sort of inspiration...

I've seen the Sonata in the flesh and I'm not in love with it.What I like about this car are it's crisp lines,the rear slope of the c pillar and the sharp front end. It looks more upscale then it's competition. If it's built well enough it should sell.Where the 2 door coupe?

I don't see is a good time for VW , Germans now are too conservative and they need to make a radical new and exotic design they make the same mistake with Mercedes and the new BMW line. Open your eyes and move fast competition is very hard. Koreans is just behind.

" Koreans is just behind"

RUKidding me?

The Koreans sales are so far ahead this year that VW will only be a distant spec in their rear view mirror.

This VW Lumpmobile has to compare specs with the new Elantra no contest..Elantra will knock them out in the first round.

VW have de-contented the Jetta down to the bargain bid catagory while the Koreans are loading long lists of standard features on theirs.

What would you rather have...a new car with WOW appeal,lots of goodies, and a long warranty, ot a stipped out VW yawner with a bare bones warranty?

And don't hand me that 'yea but what about that great German Engineering'?
THAT my friend is a figment of your lack of imagination.

On my 2006 Jetta TDI, they couldn't even make a simple dip stick that lets you read the oil level without putting it in and out a half dozen times, and even then you're not sure.

Don't get me started on the rest of the poorly designed crap on that car they call German Engineering.
