Greetings all,
I'm looking at the possibility of buying a new Jetta TDI wagon in 5 months or so. While learning about falling windows (fixed by now, I gather) and cupholder complaints (also soon to be history, apparently), I could swear I saw a usenet message which said basically that the amount of rear leg room in the Jetta will be "fixed for 2004," which I take to mean it will be increased. Now I can't find that thread. Does anyone know anything about this? If I'm not imagining this, does it mean VW will decrease the cargo area and move the rear seat back or will they make the car longer?
Also, when are the 2004 models expected to appear? Where would I go to find out about the expected changes in the new model, the VW site?
Thanks in advance.

P.S. I posted this message on rec.autos.makers.vw.watercooled, but the responses were more geared towards the possible exterior design of the Mk5 Jetta. I'm really more curious about the interior of the current model, specifically the leg room issue. My membership to this forum was just approved, so I thought I'd see what you folks knew as well.
