VW Teases Jetta R with 3.6L V6-Powered, All-Wheel-Drive Prototype
Volkswagen's new 2011 Jetta has just landed on European shores, but the Germans already have new plans for it.

Should it make into production, you can rest assured that the R division will dress-up the Jetta with a body kit, probably featuring more aggressive spoilers, lowered side sills and other R goodies, plus interior appointments. We reckon racing seats, sportier steering wheels and pedals are safe bets.
