Default Interesting VW updates

I got this off of vortex.

I just got back form the "vw academy" our instructor told us a bunch of stuff that we were not really supposed to know but he believed it may be helpful in the future so here it goes:
Jetta:

the Jetta will get a minor facelift later on this year, All Jettas will get a GLI like black trim running the entire bottom portion of the car. 115V outlet will become standar as well as an USB port.

For 2008 model year it gets a facelift, VW has gotten letters from people that claim that the Jetta looks toom much like a Corolla (his words not mine) so the Jetta gets a more EOS like front end and revised tail lamps (read Passat like)

GTI:

arrives on dealers lots in Feb with the 4 door arriving 6 months later


Golf:

Arrives at the same time as the GTI 4 door


R36:

arrives in 18 months (confirmed) with a 300HP version of the Passats engine


Eos:

Arrives in May


Jetta R36:

6 months after Golf R36


2008 model year we also get a "entry level car" when I said "is it the polo?" the guy smiled and said "maybe" . he also said that the Concept R is a go.
