alot of mis-information here...CURRENTLY the rabbit and the GTI along with the passat are made in germany. The JETTA and the new beetle are made in mexico.
Newer vw (06 up) are great cars...GREAT cars..especially with DSG (the rabbit has DSG but no paddle shifters)
Personally I have owned numerous vws...I also worked at a vw dealer. I would stay away from golf and jetta 4 (99.5-2005 early) as they are the cars that earned the bad rep..and not nearly as bad as people think.
