Jettas have a trunk...this car in the picture apparantly does not have one.

It is definitely a Golf.....but I'm not sure of which year.

The Golf and Jetta are on the same platform and are essentially two different shapes of the same car. The Golf is a hatchback, and the Jetta is a sedan. In the second generation (Mk2) pictured, both were available with either 2 or 4 doors.

They did introduce an estate (wagon) version of the Golf in 1993 for the Mk3, which is one gen newer than the picture. It is differentiated from the hatchback by having a window behind the C pillar. In the 6th generation of the Golf/Jetta, the Golf estate was sold in a few markets (including the US) as the “Jetta Sportwagen” from 2009-2014, before reverting to being the “Golf Sportwagen” it had already been elsewhere.

@Carfan94 is 100% correct, this is a Mk2 4-door Golf.

Just another Jag, 928S, Maserati, Aston Martin lookalike. Not much one can do with that body style to identify the brand. All gorgeous cars in their own right.

Don't know but it looks good.
I believe Ferraris always have the engine in the back.

Nope.. It was a GM concept car from the 50s, but I don't remember the exact one...perhaps the Pontiac Firebird.
