SOWO IS COMING!!!!!!

Alright all you Dubbers! You know what time of year it is! Southern Worthersee Tour 2013 is coming up next weekend. Are you guys ready for the biggest VW/Audi show in the United States!!!! Send us pics and videos of how you're getting you're ride ready! Meanwhile, here's a video of last year's ruckus!

Jetta Power!

So everybody likes to think of our little Jetta as the grocery-getter, the fuel sipper, and the family sedan. But there are a lot of Dubbers out there who know otherwise about their Jettas. I want you all to send in pics, videos, whatever you have demonstrating the power and uniqueness of the Volkswagen Jetta! Send them to DNieves@esserman.com. Keep em coming!!!!

Fuel Sipping Record Breaker!!!

We all waited patiently to hear the numbers of VW's new hybrid Jetta before it was released. When VW claimed a combined fuel efficency of 45, we were happy. Then VW went further and announced that the car would still do 0-60 in just 9 seconds (in a hybrid?!), and we were VERY happy. Now this new Jetta has surpassed it's own goals by posting 49.9 mpg, and I'm the happiest I've been in a long time.

VW started it's first "Think Blue. Championship" this year, a rally spanning 402 miles from San Francisco to Santa Monica. Top drivers from all over the world flew in to try their hand at setting a new fuel efficiency record, and Frank Zauft of Germany took the prize. Over the course of the rally, Zauft experienced uphill and downhill situations, as well as both highway and city driving. The overall average of the vehicle clocked in at a massive 49.9 mpg, just shy of his 50 mpg goal. It may have been a tenth short, but it's the best out there and we'll take it ANY day. Congrats, Frank!

Launch!!!!

Here are some images from the recent Jetta Hybrid Launch Tour. The car is officially on it's way!!!! I got the opportunity to drive the car (and the competition) and let me tell you, this thing MOVES!!! Sometimes you forget it's a hybrid (until you see the energy readouts on the MFI and the RNS 315 Navigation)! These are a few images of us training on the vehicle:

Slalom to test the suspension with the new 79 lb battery

Check out the energy readout and dual-zone climate control!

Hybrid badging, low drag grille, and vented wheels to cool the brakes

2013 Jetta Changes!!!!

Great news for those in the market for the 2013 Jetta, POWER SEATS!!!!! Starting in 2013, all Jettas, trim level SE and up, will feature a power seat back adjustment for both driver and passenger seats. For those who are in the market for the SEL, or the newest trim level SEL w/navigation; you'll get to enjoy 6 way adjustable power driver's seats. Nice!!

Another nice change is that new trim level. Volkswagen has split up the SEL into two trim levels, and has done away with the SEL Premium.  But don't worry Premium lovers, if you're looking for those two-tone sport seats, you can still get them optionally in the SELs. The SEL will no longer have navigation or Fender Premium audio. These will be reserved for the new SEL w/Navigation trim level. And one more bonus for us previous VW owners; the soft-touch dash returns in all of the SEL and diesel powered cars. Great job, VW!!!!!!
