That's true, and that's why I bought the Jetta.
'cause I want a sedan, not a hatchback..

So, why mags don't speak about the Jetta?.. Most
car magazines are about
sporty/cool/rare/special/luxury cars. so EC is
too. There are not too much family-car magazines
around.

The passat turned to be a luxury car in its B5
version. The Beetle...well, not too much to
explain. And the Golf/GTI are 100% sporty cars,
both. The Golf Cabrio, is a fun car, but it's
still a Golf.

The Jetta isn't a luxury car (Passat beats it) and
it isn't a sporty car either (a GTI runs more than
a GLX, has more sporty stuff inside like the seat
trims, etc.).. So, why do magazines should talk
about it?.

Anyway, I don't care about if my car appears on
magazines or not, or if in my country is the
best-seller (yes it is the most selled sedan in
1998) and you see 20 per minute in the street. I
still love it and prefer from a Golf. I'm in love
with its shape. Sorry.

BUT!!.. hey wait.. There comes the Jetta A4 in
October. It'll be in every magazine as the Beetle
is.. Thought the NB is a hit?. Expect more from
the new Jetta. People will sell their Benzes,
BMWs, Civics, etc..
