Some are simple rebadging, some are entirely different cars. Didn't know about a lot of these actually.

In Canada, the Jetta Sportwagen is sold as the Golf Wagon, which makes more sense since the car is built on the Golf platform.

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Orlando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Orlando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There’s no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Orlando

I think I read that VW will be remedying this with the MKVII. I'd much rather drive a Golf Variant than a Jetta Wagon.

The Toronto-area distributor's near my school; when I realized it was there all along, I'd look in the parking lot for some good old crazy TVR madness. Ever since they folded production I haven't seen much in that lot since.

I'm really tired of manufacturers naming their cars differently in the US. North America had the mkIV Jetta wagon while Europe and elsewhere had the mk IV Golf wagon. It literally had the Jetta front end that time for the NA market. They seem to have carried over the name in the US for familiarity sake, just like the "Rabbit" mistake. I really hope they drop the word "Jetta" from it now. If I had one here, I'd simply replace the rear badge to say "Golf."

Ugh. Love the Eurovan. I want an MV trim (rear facing 2nd row, fold out bed, table) for a DD when the lease on my Hyundai is up.
