We don't get the jetta in over there, I assume it's the Bora with another name?

Yeah. The Jetta has bombed so many times in the UK that I guess a new name was a good plan.

It won't work though, people in the UK buying a Golf sized car just don't want to give up the practicality that the hatch gives you over the Jetta/Bora. The only reason I can think of for buying one over a Golf is if you regularly needed to lock things out of the way in the trunk/boot.
