Jetta SportWagen delayed till next year

Jetta SportWagen delayed until next year.This is not good. The highly anticipated Jetta SportWagen has been delayed from the expected August launch to March next year. It began as a rumor on the Vortex forums but Autoblog was able to confirm it through Keith Price, Volkswagen's public relations manager.

The delay is attributed to a plant fire that destroyed between 12,000 to 15,000 cylinder heads. Launch has now moved to March, where we can expect a "tiny trickle of 2.0FSI Turbo cars at intro, and an even split of 2.5L and Clean Diesel in dealers to follow".

This means that the only other launch left in the year has been scrapped. Can you wait that long?
