posted review of the new Jetta

does this go here, or is/will there be another area?

I like the shutters.

hmmnn... I'd have thought they'd align the interior with the Golf's ... Will have to check it out in person, and from the video, the interior looks plain. Really not digging it on first view, the brushed look adds some contrast, thinking it needs something.

It still goes in the Mk6 Jetta forum, as it's still a Mk6.

Nice to see that it retains IRS with the addition of AdBlue, unlike the Golf, which was forced to lose it.

The shutters on the lower grill are purely for an aerodynamic benefit?

On cold mornings, the shutter stays closed until a preset engine temperature has been reached

and Dynamic radiator shutter. One new aerodynamic feature on the Jetta TDI 1.8T and 2.0 TDI Clean Diesel is a closeable shutter for the radiator grille. Closing the radiator shutter helps shorten the warm-up phase of the engine due to reduced air cooling. If the engine coolant temperature drops below a predefined temperature threshold while driving, the radiator shutter remains shut. Once the engine moves beyond the warm-up phase, the shutter can open and close based on vehicle speed and cooling demands. When closed, frontal airflow is guided around the body, which helps to improve the car's aerodynamics and thus reduces fuel consumption.

these both look like info from the NY auto show. will be interesting to hear from site members with a VCDS on how the shutters impact warm-up and cold weather operation.

Good info. Thanks Mike.
