bzzt.

The Wolfsburg Edition Jetta has 16" BBS wheels, sport cloth, the
sport seats the GTI has (except they don't fold forward, naturally),
the 1.8T engine, manual transmission, leather shift knob, sport
suspension, 3-spoke leather wrapped steering whel. And badging, of
course (under the front side turn signal repeaters and probably on
the trunk as well.)

Ironically, the Wolfie (as we VWVortexers often call them) is made in
Pueblo, Mexico -- not Wolfsburg, Germany! It's only a marketing ploy
now. (Golfs/GTIs are made in Mexico and Brasil. I got one of the last
German-made Golfs.)

See http://www.vw.com/jetta/? for details.
