Apparently, the name is derived from “jetstream”, so it probably is supposed to be pronounced like cheddar. But a German who does not know that would probably pronounce it as Yetta, yes.
popular german automobile? what year is it?
Is it called the Jetta there? I know some cars have regional model names.
It’s called the Vento in Germany I believe.
The same car has been sold under both names for some years but the jetta is still a thing there
Yeah that sounds about right. I vaguely remember seeing them called the “American” name while lapping the green hell at some point.
Used to be called the Bora. I know for a fact my Mk 4 was produced under that name in Europe.
Good question actually!
Does VW even make the Jetta anymore?
Wenn call it also Jetta here in Germany. Here an old ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBu2Lc24554
Indeed. Though interestingly, the Jetta seems to be much more common abroad, t’s a pretty rare car in Germany.
What car do you see in Germany most often?
For roughly Jetta-sized cars by Volkswagen, it’s usually Passat or Golf (including the ‘Golf variant’ station wagon). VW Passat is fairly common as a police car, too.
The Yolf
To be fair, there are significant differences between the German Yolf and the Golf of America
Nice
Damn you, I’m having to stifle a laugh here.
Take my angry upvote you magnificent bastard
And Volkswagen is pronounced Folksvahgen.
No, it’s pronounced fow-veh!
