**Attention Jetta Wolfsburg fanatics: The Jetta Wolfsburg package is not listed below because it is a package, not a model. (In car-speak, that's a fine distinction. But hey, we've got to give our lawyers something to do.) The Jetta Wolfsburg is based on the Jetta GLS 1.8T model (listed below), with the addition of some great features.
