2010 Volkswagen Jetta Review – A Promising Passat Junior
The name change isn’t just for kicks. Outside the continent of Europe, four-door saloons are generally more popular over hatchbacks. In America where additional space of whatever form in an automobile is always welcomed, the Jetta (that’s Bora for the rest of the world) is the most popular European passenger car for many years running, accounting for 40 per cent of all Volkswagens sold there. In fact, the Jetta has the rare distinction of being launched first in North America before Europe, and it is only produced in Mexico.
Closer to home, the Bora has lived a relatively quiet existence, regarded by many as ‘boring’ next to its more illustrious hatchback sibling and the iconic Beetle. The new Jetta -based on the Mk5 Golf- is supposed to change all that. With the underpinnings all well and sorted, the styling would have to be the major factor. But instead of just grafting on a boot to the Golf, every panel aft of the B-pillars is distinct to the Jetta, and for inspiration, VW looked to big brother Passat.

Honda introduced the CR-V at Japan and UK across the globe few years back. More specifically, in 2007, the production of CR-V kicked-off in the North American market at East Liberty, Ohio. Dongfeng Vehicle Company in partnership with Dongfeng Cruise Company produces CR-V as a joint venture for Chinese marketplaces. Now, 2010 Honda CR-V is all set to hit the roads.
In fall of 2008, Honda’s Senior Manager commenced the production of CR-V as the primary Vehicle in Greensburg, Indiana. The CR-V was the first in-house SUV creation of Honda, which was meant to be a unique creation in its class. At the Chicago Auto Display, the Honda CR-V was demonstrated for the maiden time in US. At the time of Toyota RAV4′s release, the CR-V came into view as Subaru Forester and many years later as JDM Nissan Rasheen competing with Toyota.
