2010 VW Jetta Lineup to be Joined by TDI Cup Street Edition
Thanks to positive feedback the concept version received at the 2008 SEMA show as well as at TDI Cup races, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup "Street" Edition will become a reality. This race series-inspired version of the turbodiesel Jetta will have some substance under the obligatory body kit (revised front and rear fascias, lower body skirting). A sport-tuned suspension (similar to that found on the Jetta GLI), 18-inch alloy wheels, and bigger brakes with red calipers give the "Street" some, umm, street cred. The cabin will have some upgrades as well, including sport seats and a leather-wrapped, multi-function steering wheel with (for DSG-equipped versions) paddle shifters.
Pricing is slated to come in around $25,000, however thanks to this clean diesel's efficiency, you'd also quality for a $1,300 Federal Tax Credit. Those who were wishing VW would have a sport version of the TDI can look forward to this belated Christmas present come this January, when the Jetta TDI Cup Street Edition is due to hit showrooms.

Relatively tasteful.
So like a GLD then? I'm not so sure about the chin spoiler, but the rest seems pretty cool.
