The Jetta looks great in black. The chrome/black mix well!

I'm happy the rear looks 'common' because it makes it harder to identify at a distance.

I think this concepted Mini/Smart rear-enging competitor may be the "beetle mini" replacement, more similar to concept 1 on the polo-style platform. I think they could pull that off, even with safety testing. Price it about like the Rabbit, or lower. Get into the $12,000 range like Honda can do at times. Bring back the real "people's car."
