  • 2011 Volkswagen Jetta

    For anyone still lamenting Volkswagen’s decision to ditch its guttural 3.2-liter V-6 in the transition from the MkV Golf R32 to the current MkVI Golf R, there is some hope on the horizon. Volkswagen may launch a new V-6 powered R car but this time ‘round the Jetta sedan is expected to be the recipient of the potent powerplant. At the European launch of the new 2011 Volkswagen Jetta, a very special example of the stylish sedan was rolled out--one with a 3.6-liter V-6 lurking under the hood. Officials weren’t willing to specify the power rating but they did confirm that it was...
