2011 Jetta expected to help Vw to grab 4 percent of the U.S. auto market

As you may know already Volkswagen revealed yesterday the brand new 2011 Jetta and made quite a buzz.

What you didn’t know is that the German manufacturer sees the new Jetta model bolstering U.S. sales of the car by as much as 25 percent by 2012, which means it will help the company to seize up to 4 percent of the U.S. auto market. So far in 2010, Vw has 3.1 percent of the U.S. market but according to Stefan Jacoby, Chief Executive of Volkswagen Group of America, Inc the new Jetta is a more attractive option for the American customers.

Apparently VW hasn't seen its current competition.

In the economic small sedan class, the competition offers nothing exceptional. If I had to chose among Honda's, Crash-Me-Toyota's, Nissans, and Chevys I would prefer a VW.

Something about Toyota, they claimed for years that their reliability was impeccable. We've witnessed otherwise. Now they are claiming they produce safe cars (really?). If their past is any indication, I choose not to place my safety and that of my family in the hands of those that lie and mislead for a living.

no car or brand is without flaw or perfect but just for a second lets be factual for a second ok? 1. VWs have consistantly for YEARS been unrealiable cars now that is a fact they have been problematic for several years now improved? yes but nevertheless unreliable. 2. Toyotas on the flipside have been far more reliable than any VW are they perfect? no, without flaw? of course not but to say any VW is more reliable than a Toyota is pretty rediculous....

Only if it is available as a pick-up.

It looks nice. Certainly not spectacular but nice and conservative enough to suit most people. Besides, the design is different from its competitors and the Jetta has a great reputation. It will sell well most likely.
