Could it be something like an Elantra N competitor?

First, a short press release in our inbox letting us know that VW is pulling the cover off of the 2025 Jetta and Jetta GLI on June 25:
Reston, VA — Volkswagen of America, Inc. will reveal the 2025 Jetta and Jetta GLI at 9 a.m. ET on Tuesday, June 25th, with the revamped Jetta lineup expected to reach U.S. dealers by the end of Q3 2024.
Then, a cheeky post on social media that says, “A shift is coming 6/25.”
Two separate announcements from the same car company set for the same day? Seems like too much of a coincidence to us–they have to be related.
If we were the betting type, we’d say that VW has all but confirmed the 2025 GLI (and maybe even the non-GLI Jetta) will be available with a manual transmission.
At any rate, something from VW with a manual gearbox is getting unveiled tomorrow, June 25, and that's definitely something to get excited about in a day and age when the manual is slowly disappearing.
Could it be something like an Elantra N competitor?
Call me confused, didn't the GTI get the manual discontinued? But the GLI is going to solider on with it still?
In reply to aw614 :
Yes, it is a bit confusing since VW did discontinue the manual in the GTI.
Again, this is just speculation at this point, as VW hasn't officially confirmed anything just yet.
There is a chance that the Jetta unveiling and what was posted to social are two unrelated items, but it seemed like way to much of a coincidence for both items to not be related.
