jetta

A pleasant but benign series of Volkswagen sedans designed, but not always assembled, by Germans. Notoriously thought to be wildly faster and more impressive than they are, particularly among males under 25 who have yet to drive a wide array of actual performance vehicles. The Jetta is popular in North America (and is seen as crucial VW strategy there) because the Golf lacks a trunk, and in turn lacks a certain degree of cache among those over 25 (who think a hatchback makes them look like they're fresh out of college). Celebration of the Jetta is a testament to a peculiar facet of the human condition that permits us to place the mundane and satisfactory on a pedestal, whenever it's all we know.
