Not conform stereotypes

Powered by the 2.0L Clean Diesel TDI, delivering 140 horsepower and 235 ft.-lbs. of torque, the new Jetta SportWagen does not conform to old station wagon stereotypes.

Using readily available body components and finished in custom paint and graphics, this Jetta TDI SportWagen demonstrates what can be done to personalize a Jetta. To reinforce the sportin this wagon, the Jetta’s underpinnings were upgraded by H&R Springs to lower its ride height, and make its handling razor sharp.

The Jetta TDI SportWagen remains firmly planted with 19 inch Sportec Wheels and Yokohama Tires wrapped around an upgraded Brembo brake kit, providing high performance stopping power. Hella provides up-level lighting components that add a unique flair to the styling.

you are really stretching your comparisons. The performance of a car depends largely on other factors than engine size and horsepower. Stop stating your misinformed thoughts like facts.

I love this kind of tuning!! And the 2.0 TDi engine works really well. Very silent and refined with 16 valves and variable geometry turbocharger.

WHY WOULD A TDI SPORTWAGEN COMPARE WITH THE RS6 (SUPERCAR-WAGEN)? WHERE DID YOU PULL THAT ONE FROM? F.Y.I. THIS IS ONLY DEMONSTRATING THAT THE NEW 2.0TDI CAN AND WILL PRODUCE VERY SPORTY (HIGH) PERFORMANCE (TORQUE), VERY ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY (LOW) EMISSIONS LEVELS, WHILE ALSO MAINTAINING ITS VERY ECONOMICAL (LOW) FUEL CONSUMPTION CAPABILITIES

Well, for starters, some of these guys are showing their age with those comments. Like, "this car has 600hp and will beat this," or "this car can do 0-60 in 3.4 with tiptronic." What a bunch of bench racers that pull everything out of magazines and state them as facts.
