The cheapest Sagitar is 120k for the 1.6 rising to 180k for the luxury 1.8T. There is a 2.0l tucked in the middle of those options from 140 to 180k. If only it was that cheap!

It would be kinda funny if something horribly went wrong during the test and there was media coverage stating that the other brand had issues ;-) ...then again...aggghh...guess we'll just wait and see when they make an official announcement :-) Or they might be doing the Ford Fiesta thing, by putting the competitor’s logo on it while testing it.

How much does the Jetta cost in China (the last iteration of it, I think it's called sagitar or something, in China...) ?? although the concept was a big hit, this production version shows nothing interesting now…
