jetta taxi 300x225 VW Jetta to get the chop in 2012 tooIn addition to the VW Santana ending production in 2012, it seems that the Jetta will be following it out of the door.

Apparently, the VW Jetta will be replaced in China by a new Sagitar (the current Euro Jetta), which might push the current basic Sagitar 1.6l into a taxi role. The VW Lavida may also end up in taxi livery, once the Santana, and the Jetta have gone

    I would have thought the New Bora is a more likely replacement as it is cheaper. Also by then I would have thought VW will be producing a 6th generation Jetta, but what that will be called in China is anyone’s guess.
