Is it me or does the 06 Jetta look like the 9th Gen Corolla?

Hey everybody,
I'm not sure if I am seeing things, but is it just me or does the 06 Jetta have a striking resemblance to the 9th Gen Corolla? I swear from a distance they look almost identical. Let me know what you think.

You know, my son-in-law, a loyal VW owner, converted by me early in life, said that to me on the weekend.

No doubt. I was at the Canadian International auto show in Toronto and i agree, it looks like a 9th Gen.
The all new Toyota Jetta.

The new Avalon looks like a G35 Back end.

At work, in the parking lot, there is a civic, lancer and my rolla, all with moonroof and spoiler. From the rear they all look the same, at first glance. The diffs are small, but I drove all three and that's where the comparison ends. No wonder everyone wants to copy toyota.

Well the front bumper and headlights look different, and there are other minor differences but the over allshape and line is definatly mimiced.

The rear end looks similar...

2.5 has a sweet looking front IMHO starting at $19,000 rear is the same as mistamatrix pics... .....Radd Guy

It's a nice looking car but now it doesn't stand out like the current Jetta line does. It looks like another "cookie cutter" car on the road. I wonder what the next Generation Corolla will look like? Maybe a VW? LOL
