2009 Volkswagen New Beetle Final models

Signifying the end of what has been a long run, Volkswagen has introduced “Final Edition” models of the New Beetle coupe and convertible. Each will be limited to a run of just 1,500 units. Under the hood is VW’s familiar 2.5-liter inline-fine (rated at 150 horsepower) sending power to the front wheels through a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission – nothing new there. However, the German automaker has fitted a full sport suspension and unique 17-inch alloy wheels to each of the New Beetles to add a touch more driving excitement.
Cosmetically, the Final Edition models feature Aquarius Blue paint. The hardtop version breaks up the color with a black roof and integrated fog lights, while the convertible model has a two-tone Aquarius Blue/Campanella White paint scheme and a white top. Special badging is found on the front quarter panel and on the steering wheel. The hatchback version hits showrooms with a base MSRP of $20,240 and the convertible starts at $27,170.

VW Jetta TDI Cup Street Edition

Volkswagen is planning to bring in the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup "Street" Edition to US dealerships beginning next year. If you happen to attend last year's SEMA, you might have caught a glimpse of the concept it was based on.
The Jetta TDI Cup "Street" Edition comes with similar body kit to the version shown off during previous TDI Cup races. One will notice modifications done on front bumper, side skirts and rear valance, and large, red, caliper brakes were added. The brakes are covered by 18-inch Charleston wheels. Sport suspension and sway bars were taken from the GLI.
Under the hood there is the 140 horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine that generates a healthy 236 ft-lb of torque. It is paired to either a six-speed manual, or DSG paddle-shift transmission. Highlights of the interior includes Interlagos cloth-lined sport seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Volkswagen mention that the Jetta will be priced form $25,000 & qualifies for a federal tax credit of $1,300. Sales commencing in the beginning of January 2010.
