Stylistically, the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI receives a honeycomb grille, blacked-out bumper trim, 18-inch alloys, and more aggressive suspension tuning. Sport front bucket seats have better bolstering to keep the driver anchored behind the wheel. Volkswagen plans to begin selling the Jetta GLI in September of 2005, and prices will be announced closer to the launch. Though we're not crazy about the nose job on the GLI, the rest of the car, combined with the improvements made to all Jettas, sounds like one fun ride.

About Christian Wardlaw
Christian Wardlaw joined Autobytel's Automotive Information Center (AIC) in January 2003, and current serves as Manager of Content Development for Autobytel. Previously, Christian spent eight years as Editor-in-Chief and Director of Automotive Data for Edmunds.com. A writer, editor, and automobile aficionado, Christian is a different sort of car enthusiast. His passion lies in the vehicles that people most often buy, rather than with high-performance sports cars or ultra-luxury sedans. “Given the choice to spend an hour with a Dodge Viper or a Honda Accord, I’ll choose the Accord,” he claims. Unless, of course, the driving venue is a racetrack. Christian has been a car enthusiast all of his life, uttering “car” as his first word while growing up in Detroit. A graduate of Western Michigan University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in English. His daily drivers include a 1994 Mazda Miata, a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and a 2005 Nissan Murano.
