[Editor's note: They don't look a day over 40.] The show officially opens to the public on Saturday, January 14th, and if you make it out to the Motor City, be sure to drop by our booth and check out a few of the latest cars and technologies that Volkswagen has to offer.

The all-new Jetta Hybrid debuted during press days and is located on the main stage at the Volkswagen booth. Unlike other Jetta models, the Jetta Hybrid is powered by a high-tech turbocharged gasoline engine that is paired with a zero-emissions electric motor. It can also be driven in pure electric mode at speeds of up to 44 mph and for up to 1.2 miles, depending on operating conditions. It’s the world’s first hybrid to feature a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and it has a class-leading 0-60 mph time of less than 9.0 seconds. Sure, it’s a hybrid, but it’s safe to say that this is not a typical hybrid. The Jetta Hybrid launches in North America in late 2012, so don’t miss your chance to see it now. [Continue reading...]
