As I understand it:

The Jetta GLX will arrive sometime between spring and summer (April-June).

The Jetta GLS, however, will be available this month, or early January. The
GLS VR6 will be available Feb-March timeline. We might see GLX's about this
time too.

The prices for the Jetta GL will start at $16,500.
The GLS and TDI will be just under $18,000.
The GLS TDI will be under $19,000.
The GLS VR6 will be under $21,000.
The GLX VR6 will be about $22,500.
The GLX VR6 totally loaded will be around $25,000, the GLS VR6 totally
loaded, about $24,000.
