Yahoo Autos Volkswagen Jetta GLI Blue Lagoon is a nostalgia-soaked concept for the fans
Volkswagen struck a chord with enthusiasts by introducing a concept named Jetta GLI Blue Lagoon that's a tribute to the 2004 model. It's finished in a throwback shade of blue, and it receives a long list of aftermarket parts.
Released in 1984, the first-generation Jetta GLI aimed to offer the performance and the handling of the GTI in a three-box package that was more closely aligned with the tastes of American drivers. Then, 20 years later, the fourth-generation model was available in a head-turning hue called Blue Lagoon. Volkswagen no longer has this shade on its color palette, so the 2021 concept wears a vinyl wrap over its factory-applied Deep Black Pearl paint job.
California-based Fifteen52 provided the front splitter, while the side skirts and the trunk-mounted spoiler come from Air Design. H&R Street Performance coilovers give the Jetta that oh-so-2000s stance, and 20-inch BBS alloy wheels wrapped by Continental tires add a finishing touch to the design. All told, the Blue Lagoon concept is clearly modified, but it remains reasonably subtle and elegant. It's not over-the-top in a "Fast & Furious" kind of way.
