admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 04:00:00 +0000

Wolfsburg - The next generation CrossPolo is ready for new adventures.

Happily, Volkswagen is nowhere near foolish enough to throw away a nameplate that has tremendous recognition, having been in constant use for three decades. Instead of a new name, the most surprising thing about the 2011 Jetta (the A6, to the cognoscenti), is how much larger it is, its new base engine, and its lower price.
