Jetta platform tipped for Dodge compact
In October, it was reported that Chrysler was considering building a Dodge vehicles based on the Volkswagen Polo. Today, Germany’s Spiegel Online reports that the last-generation Volkswagen Jetta platform will be used for the Dodge vehicle instead of the Polo architecture. The 2008 model — which is expected to cost around $10,000 — is being engineered in part by Volkswagen using existing technology, to help keep costs down. We suspect the vehicle in question will be based on the Dodge Hornet Concept, which was shown in February. Last year, Volkswagen and Chrysler announced they would partner on a minivan project.
