According to teh 'tex, they will have a new GLI there as well!
Very exciting stuff!

It is fitting, then, that Len was one of the individuals responsible for setting in motion our plan to take a new Golf V GTI and a new Jetta V GLI out on the road this summer to various Volkswagen shows so that all of you could get a chance to actually see the new cars in the metal, sit in them, touch them and in some cases even ride in them. The new Golf V GTI has won a heap of awards in Europe, including BBC Top Gear's Performance Car of the Year, and the GLI emulates that same formula, albeit with a trunk hanging off the back end. All-in-all we're really excited that we are able to give our readers an advanced look at these two cars in person.

Actually getting our hands on a new GTI and GLI was no easy task since there is no U.S. version of the GTI, and the Jetta V GLI won't go on sale till the end of August. A black Golf V GTI with leather interior, navigation and DSG transmission was imported from Germany and our red Jetta V GLI is a pre-production sample that did some time on the auto show circuit. Both cars will be on display in our booth at the following shows for the rest of this season:

July 16&17 - Waterfest, Englishtown, NJ
July 31 - Waterwagens, Kent, WA
August 21 - Treffen 2005, Chicago, IL
September 18 - Dubfest, Los Angeles, CA
September 25 - H2O International, Ocean City, MD
This should be pretty cool as well:

This year we knew we had to have a new Golf V GTI at the show - that is a given - but that's not all... Not just satisfied with one GTI, we've decided to feature all five generations of the GTI in our booth (all in black, I might add).

I saw it at Waterfest, It looks great! Very comfortable as well They even ran it at the track against a new Jetta but I think the driver must of messed up because he pulled a 16 second 1/4 mile time .

I actually felt the new GTI's seats gave more support.
