The German auto maker Volkswagen Group has been manufacturing an automobile called the Volkswagen Jetta since 1979.  The same vehicle has been manufactured for five generations already, but in different selling brands - the Bora, the Atlantic, the Vento, the town Jetta, the GLI Jetta, the Jetta City, the Sagitar, and the Fox.  This mid-range family automobile was positioned to be Volkswagen’s tavern or sedan car, which is above the compact and small family automobile offering that VW already had through the Volkswagen golfing, which was a hunchback automobile.  Over 6.6 million units of the Jetta have been sold since its introduction up to 2005.  Over a third of the 6.6 million vehicles were sold in the united states.  Originally, the Jetta was styled by just adding to the Volkswagen golf hunchback a standard truck.  The Jetta had bought its own unique design later. 

Two versions of the Jetta sedan have been available - a two-door and four-door tavern.  A station-wagon version is available as a five-door estate.  All versions are 5-seater cars.  As for its name, in Volkswagen’s history, especially in the 1970s, lots of its models were named after prominent winds.  Examples of this trend are Volkswagen Scirocco ( after sirocco ), Volkswagen golf ( after Gulf Stream ), Volkswagen Passat ( after the German for trade wind ), and Volkswagen Bora ( after bora ).  In this model’s case, the Jetta comes from the German language term for’jet stream.’ Since the 1st version of the automobile was introduced in 1980, the car’s size and power has then grown in both power and size. 

The current generation of Jettas available in the vehicle market is the 5th generation.  Style-wise, it has a chrome front grille, which some critics still dismiss as bland.  The engine is a forceful, economical 1.4 litre turbocharged engine with four cylinders and a DSG transmission with 6 speeds.  A 6th generation of the Jetta is slated to be introduced in 2010 for the 2011 model year.
