New Models: VW unveils "M5 killer"
03 Nov 05 17:43
Volkswagen used its first appearance at SEMA to launch three performance-tuned products that could show up in the automaker's line-up in the future.
The models included a Touareg R-GT, which was lowered, given 22-inch wheels, and upgraded to 500bhp. The interior featured a Bugatti spun-aluminium trim kit and matching his-and-her iPods.
VW also applied the R-GT designation to a 535-hp version of the Passat, which racer and project car specialist Townsend Bell dubbed "an M5 killer." The candy-white Passat featured an aggressively reshaped nose, with flush bumpers and a new fascia, 19-inch titanium anodized wheels and an integrated rear spoiler. Top speed? Over 190 mph.
The third project car was the Jetta R-GT. This "sinister" interpretation was outlined in ghost graphics and ground effects. Track-ready, it featured a full roll cage surrounding Recaro seats. Based on the new Golf R32 platform, the Jetta R-GT's track was widened for improved performance and handling - which would also be enhanced by full-time all-wheel drive, according to Townsend.
There's a growing likelihood that the R-GT models will, if they don't make it into production, at least influence some future members of the VW line-up, suggested Adrian Hallmark, the new US head of Volkswagen.
Hallmark also hinted there could be significant changes coming at VW in the near future, as it moves to improve its position in the US market, including starting to produce vehicles specifically designed for America. How soon might new products appear?
"It won't happen in a year," Hallmark said, but he added that the goal is to move fast. (thecarconnection.com)

The '06 Jettas look like a Corolla, with a new Audi front-end... :confused:
On a better note, the VW interiors continue to get better and better.

Bring back the designer of the MKIV, too. At least, the design of the MKIV can evolve a hell of a lot better over time, than the transition which currently took place. You can't even recognize any similiarites, between the two models. The MKV doesn't even look like a VW - it doesn't even look EURO. It looks like mother of this car got raped by a Toyota, resulting to what we see here - a JDM/EURO offspring. It's real shame - German cars were always known for it's 'unique look'. There nothing unique about this car. Jetta lost its edge, for '06.
At least the Passats have been continuously gaining more appeal, over the years. Hence the reason I miss mine, so dearly, even though it was JUST a B4 (the most underrated VW I can think of). If the MSRP of a new Passat wasn't overpriced, I'd be driving one right now, instead of my MKIV.
saving for a house > new passat

It wouldn't be the worth the change, once you find out the price of the aftermarket body kit. Then you would consider MK4, to be the undisputed champion. :ughsmile:
No offense to any MK5 owners, but this is the only VW I consider to be the worst looking 'stock trim' model, next to a B3 Passat. However, the interiors are (as usual) getting better, over time. And, I'm sure the aftermarket will be something for every MK5 owner to look forward to.
My conclusion:
1. MK4 (well-balanced, in and out)
2. B6 (different, but likable exterior)
3. MK3 (aftermarket bandwagon, like weeeeeeeee)
4. B5 (big improvement, over the B4)
5. MK2 (tru classic)
6. B4 (ok...well, I still miss my Passat) :(
7. MK5 (lost the European look, entirely - need I say "JETTAH got raped by ToyoTAH?" Only 200hp, for the 2.0T??? NGGA PLZ!)
8. B3 (just looks like ass, altogether)
what the hell is that in th middle of the bumper?????
its for the integrated air jack.

I see VW´s and I see Audis. They look similar(duh)
I know VW owns Audi, but audis designs just seem better executed.
look at that car, it looks like a combination of an audi A6, and indeed a corolla
if you are gonna do something, do it right

The front-end VW/Audi cross is true. What I don't understand is why they had to use the Jetta to cross with the Audi chassis, when the Passat was Audi's 'luxury predocessor' from '98 - '04.5, sharing the same chassis, and did it well.:run:
