The VR6 was originally developed for transverse applications like the old
Passats and GTI/Jettas, which were very similar cars that shared a lot of
drivetrain parts.  The new Passats have completely different architecture
from the new G/J.  The Passat (like the Audi A4 on which it is based) has
the engine placed longitudinally, so a V6 fits easily.  The Jetta IV is
still transverse, so the Audi V6 (a 90 deg design - very wide) won't fit.
If there is a 6 cyl Jetta IV it will have to be a VR6.
