Indeed. Though interestingly, the Jetta seems to be much more common abroad, t’s a pretty rare car in Germany.
What car do you see in Germany most often?
The Yolf
To be fair, there are significant differences between the German Yolf and the Golf of America
Nice
Take my angry upvote you magnificent bastard
Damn you, I’m having to stifle a laugh here.
For roughly Jetta-sized cars by Volkswagen, it’s usually Passat or Golf (including the ‘Golf variant’ station wagon). VW Passat is fairly common as a police car, too.
And Volkswagen is pronounced Folksvahgen.
No, it’s pronounced fow-veh!
Is it called the Jetta there? I know some cars have regional model names.
It’s called the Vento in Germany I believe.
The same car has been sold under both names for some years but the jetta is still a thing there
Yeah that sounds about right. I vaguely remember seeing them called the “American” name while lapping the green hell at some point.
Used to be called the Bora. I know for a fact my Mk 4 was produced under that name in Europe.
Good question actually!
Apparently, the name is derived from “jetstream”, so it probably is supposed to be pronounced like cheddar. But a German who does not know that would probably pronounce it as Yetta, yes.
Wenn call it also Jetta here in Germany. Here an old ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBu2Lc24554
Does VW even make the Jetta anymore?
popular german automobile? what year is it?
