Bill Hader vs. the “dangerously roomy” all-new 2011 Volkswagen Jetta

January 5, 2011 2 comments

As if it isn’t already great for the price of good, the all-new 2011 Jetta just added one more big feature: the comedic stylings of Bill Hader. Watch him, alongside a VW product specialist, explore the sedan’s best-in-class rear legroom, and we do mean “explore.” Then catch their comparison of the Jetta to the Civic, which may very well get us sued. Yes, we may be a little biased, but there’s no doubt the man is funny. Between quips you’ll even learn a thing or two about the VW sedan, including its keyless entry, optional touchscreen navigation, and available 177 lbs/ft of torque. If you’re a Jetta fan, or a Bill fan, do yourself a favor and watch this now.

The All-New 2011 Volkswagen Jetta is Great for the Price of Crazy on Gilt Groupe This Week

December 16, 2010 0 comments

You might’ve heard that VW partnered up with Gilt Groupe to sell a Jetta a day, starting Wednesday and running until Friday, for the ridiculous price of $5,995. That’s a full $10,000 off the base Jetta S trim price, which was already so good our accountants briefly passed out when they heard about it. Yesterday’s sale was only for Gilt mobile app users, which, as you would imagine, diminished the number of potential buyers. Did that hurt us? You be the judge. The first 2011 Jetta on Gilt.com was in the customer’s cart in one second and went from zero to SOLD in under five minutes. Not bad, huh? We thought so.
