It seems like I've been hearing about this car forever, when is it actually coming out?

Who knows. The 2008 are supposed to come in the spring but until it's sitting on the dealership lot, everything is speculation.

Some details

http://www.caranddriver.com/previews/12424/first-drive-2008-volkswagen-jetta-tdi.html

2.0-liter four-cylinder making 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, and either a six-speed manual or DSG automated manual transmission, the 2008 Jetta TDI will be cleared for sale in all fifty states.

Making the MB diesel sales mostly irrelevant.

I forsee decontenting.

Dealer markup? Gas is really expensive now.

 

[chittychittybangbang]

Every new car has a markup.

But until it's sitting on the dealer lot, noone knows the price. Other than that, is should be almost the same as the other mk5 cars but with the new engine.

I don't know about much markup. There were a lot of 2006 jettas that were available and VW isn't doing that great in the US. Plus, since it's not an "all new" car it might not demand the premium unless you really want the first one on the block.

I'm still waiting for the Lupo and polo! Doubtful that they will come to the US market though.
