EURO VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VARIANT PREVIEWS NORTH AMERICAN VOLKSWAGEN JETTA SPORTWAGEN

This 2010 Volkswagen Golf Variant will eventually end up at a Volkswagen dealership near you…. eventually. The major change will be its badge, where Volkswagen is inclined to wagonify a sedan rather than a hatchback. This means we’re served the Jetta SportWagen, aka the Volkswagen Jetta wagon. Of the next-generation core group of VWs, North America will welcome the GTI first. The Golf returns as the Golf, not the Rabbit. Use the term “next-generation” loosely; this is one of those not-all-new-but-quite-new cars.

So, ignore the badge on this 2010 Volkswagen Golf Variant and picture the 2011 or 2011.5 or 2012 Volkswagen Jetta wagon.
