2013 Jetta to offer rear view camera, power driver seat and LED DRL. 

While looking at the 2013 Jetta Hybrid press materials I came across this bit of info

Available premium features will include bi-xenon headlights and LED Daytime Running Lights, a power driver’s seat, heatable front seats, the RNS 315 navigation system, a rear-view camera and Volkswagen’s exclusive Fender® Premium Audio System.

 

How did I miss this? These features will satisty the needs of buyers who demand these premium features. The question is will non hybrid Jettas and GLI get this features as well?

Beetle convertible gets pushed back. Gets TDI to make up for it.

We have all anticipated that VW will show the new Beetle convertible at the NY autoshow. Instead they showed the Passat AllTrack. In a statement to Car and Driver, VW confirmed that the much anticipated convertible will debut at the LA Autoshow and go on sale shortly after. 

 

As a consolation prize VW announced that it will sell a Beetle cabrio TDI and that it will be available with both a DSG and a manual. The Beetle TDI coupe is still on track to go on sale this summer. Sounds like it will be worth the wait.

Volkswagen is now finally letting their costumers search local inventories. To get started go to their new Find your VW (gee wonder how they came up with that name) and start your search. The site will allow you to search up to 4 models at the same time but will now allow you to track an order or find cars that are not yet in dealer lots, that's where we come in. You are welcome!
