Remember when Jettas were cool? Seems so long ago.....
Seems odd that they'd take a step back like that, unless they've somehow found a magical way to make a torsion beam drive like an independent rear. I know the average sedan buyer isn't terribly concerned with cornering, but ride comfort is still important, and I would think the person who chooses a Jetta over a more ordinary sedan does so because they're an enthusiast.
Then again, Ford did manage to make a Mustang with a live rear axle that was as fast around Laguna Seca as an E92 M3.
I am pretty sure that they are betting that those sales would go to the GTI.
This is their volume car so I don’t fault them at all. 99.9% of people won’t care.
