are highly rated VW dealer in San Antonio. The Volkswagen Jetta (About
this soundlisten (help·info)) is a compact car/small family car
manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen since 1979.
Positioned to fill a sedan niche above the firm’s Golf hatchback, it
has been marketed over seven generations, variously as the Atlantic,
Vento, Bora, City Jetta, Jetta City, GLI, Jetta, Clasico, and Sagitar
(in China).
The Jetta has been offered in two- and four-door saloon / sedan, and
five-door wagon / estate versions – all as four- or five-seaters. Since
the original version in 1980, the car has grown in size and power with
each generation as seen at Volkswagen Jetta San Antonio.
By mid-2011, almost 10 million Jettas have been produced and sold all
over the world. As of April 2014, Volkswagen marketed over 14 million,
becoming its top selling model.
Numerous sources note that the Jetta nameplate derives from the
Atlantic ‘jet stream’ during a period when Volkswagen named its vehicles
after prominent winds and currents (e.g., the Volkswagen Passat (after
the German word for trade wind), Volkswagen Bora (after bora), and
Volkswagen Scirocco (after sirocco). A 2013 report by former VW
advertising copywriter Bertel Schmitt, said that — after consulting VW
sources including Dr. Carl Hahn, former Volkswagen of America Chief and
W.P. Schmidt, former sales chief at Volkswagen — no evidence suggested
Volkswagen employed a naming theme for its front-drive, water-cooled
vehicles; nor was there evidence the names derived from a theme; nor
that a naming system “was ever announced, either officially or
confidentially.”
