Recently Volkswagen refreshed the Jetta SportWagen to the MK6 generation with a sleeker front end design. So naturally it wouldn’t be a surprise that MK5 owners would look towards this front end ...

"I swear, more people talk about the cans in the trunk than the wheels or front-end swap." Speaking of the unique nose, it's got the face of a Mk6 GTI and the derriere of a Mk5.

We drove both five-speed manual and six-speed automatic versions of the 2011 Jetta, both with the 2.5-liter five, and can't say that it drives appreciably better or worse than last year's car.
