It could (a massive could) be unveiled this weekend in NY but from what I've read from respected sources on the net - June reveal.

I am in love with the new Jetta,and hope I will be able to wait for it if my current Jetta gets written off.
It now looks a little bit similar to the new Honda Accord Euro...

huge improvement, looks similar to an Audi A4 but im guessing if its no longer based on the golf then prices will rise dramatically.

I beleive that prices will rise slightly...

That's a real shame, it won't attract the same attention if the price is raised.

I agree.
It looks so bland and boring now, nothing eye catching and no wow factor.

The lack of a proper grill makes it less exciting to look at, it still look kinda like a "golf with a boot" i dont see too much difference

That's a US-spec pic, whereas the main Vwwa page has the news story and pic of the Euro spec model:
VWWatercooled Australia - VWWatercooled News

As you can see from the pictures the newly released Euro spec Jetta differs from the North American spec Jetta by having:

-Clear head light indicators.
-Euro spec instrument cluster.
-Rear bumper with revised warning reflectors and black lower half.
-Interior has softer plastics.
-Multi link rear suspension
-Euro spec engines.

Jetta VI will likely launch late next year with basically the same engine range as the current Jetta V that includes the 77TDI, 118TSI, 103TDI and 147TSI. Expect aggressive pricing as VW targets more volume in the medium size class.

With the current AUD and the push for #1 worldwide sales (and increase VAG sales leadership in Australian segments) it could be a case of either much more aggressive pricing on a de-specced price leader (1.2L anyone?!?) or just more competitive pricing on loaded-spec models.

You can see some chrome on the front valance, along the base of the windows and there are probably more standard features expected on an AU-spec car than the stripped US base version. This one looks better than the US one but still looks a lot plainer (to me) than the MkV.

That article suggests that the car won't be available in Australia until late 2010! Surely it will arrive before that.

That pic of the euro spec is a computer animation.. in reality it will look pretty much identical to the pic I post (only with fog lights). These are base models and yes they do look a little plain but in comparison to the current base model jetta its a huge improvement, it no longer looks like a stretched out golf.
