"Jetta: The ESP stability-control system becomes standard on all trim levels. After a two-year hiatus, the Jetta wagon is back, now renamed the SportWagen and offered in four trim levels: S, SE, SEL, and TDI. Engine choices include a 170-hp, 2.5-liter five; VW&rsquo;s excellent 200-hp, 2.0-liter turbo four; and a 140-hp, 2.0-liter direct-injection turbo-diesel four . All offer a choice of manual or automatic transmission, and the turbo-diesel and turbo models offer VW&rsquo;s slick DSG automated manual. Volkswagen Jetta - Buying Guide 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI - Car News Passat CC: Unveiled at this year&rsquo;s Detroit auto show, the Passat CC is VW&rsquo;s bid to lend more glamour to its top sedan line. Adopting the four-door-coupe theme established by the Mercedes CLS, the CC has frameless doors, a fast rear roofline, and a subtle spoiler integrated into the rear of the short decklid. At 188.8 inches, it&rsquo;s 0.8 inch longer than the standard Passat sedan, with a lower ride height and a wider track. Engine options include a 200-hp, 2.0-liter turbo four mated with a six-speed manual transmission or (optional) six-speed Tiptronic automatic. A 280-hp, 3.6-liter V-6 is an optional upgrade, in a package that includes the Tiptronic and 4MOTION all-wheel drive. Volkswagen Passat CC - Buying Guide 2009 Volkswagen Passat CC - First Drive Review Rabbit: Both the three- and five-door versions get an &ldquo;S&rdquo; added to their designations, as well as the ESP stability-control system as a standard feature across the range. A Cold Weather package and a trial-length Sirius satellite-radio subscription become five-door standards, but last year&rsquo;s iPod adapter disappears. Volkswagen Rabbit - Buying Guide Routan: VW says it produced the world&rsquo;s first minivan&mdash;the 1950 Microbus&mdash;but credit for the company&rsquo;s latest van goes, ironically, to Chrysler. Assembled by Chrysler, the Routan is essentially a custom version of the Dodge Grand Caravan/Chrysler Town & Country, with a VW nose, VW rear-end styling, and an upscale interior treatment. Available engines are a 197-hp, 3.8-liter V-6 (standard) and a 251-hp, 4.0-liter V-6. VW touts a &ldquo;European-tuned suspension,&rdquo; as well as standard traction control and ESP stability control. Pricing is expected to start at slightly less than $25,000. Volkswagen Routan - Buying Guide Tiguan: VW characterizes this new compact crossover as &ldquo;the GTI of sport-utility vehicles&rdquo; and with considerable justification. The foundations are Rabbit/GTI, with the GTI&rsquo;s sweet 200-hp turbo four surrounded by taller sheetmetal. Similar in size and mass to the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Nissan Rogue, et al., the Tiguan will be one of the few to offer a manual transmission&mdash;a six-speed&mdash;as well as an optional six-speed automatic. The automatic is a VW Tiptronic rather than the GTI&rsquo;s excellent DSG automated manual. Like its many competitors, the Tiguan will be offered in front- and all-wheel-drive (4MOTION) configurations. A diesel version may come in 2009. Volkswagen Tiguan - Buying Guide 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan - First Drive Review Touareg: New option packages are available: Safety (adaptive cruise control, lane-change assist), Technology (touch-screen DVD nav system with 30-gig hard drive, rearview camera), and Lux Plus (keyless access/start/stop, premium sound system). The V-10 TDI engine option has been dropped. Volkswagen Touareg - Buying Guide Unchanged: Eos , GLI , GTI , New Beetle , Passat . Dead: R32 ."
