...based on color, Jetta TDI? The rear window sweep doesn't look right though.

Agreed. Civic GX.

its not the Jetta, they have top mounted rear lights.
i'll agree with the civic GX folks, looks like a civic

Not a jetta, the rear mounted tail light. I'm guessing with that crappy build quality and fitment it's a Honda Civic.

First pic made me think 09 Jetta due to the grain and color of the plastic, but can't be because the Jetta's CHMSL is mounted near the roof, not at the bottom of the window. So 05 Jetta it is.

dammit, it's probably the Civic GX..

It is definitely the Civic GX. The exterior color and placement of the CHMSL is correct, and so is the color scheming and placement of the interior cubby, just ahead of the gear selector at the bottom of the center stack. You have to find the Civic's introduction article to see the interior pics that show this.

CHMSL?

Without a doubt the Civic GX.
First Clue:
Faux Leather Plastic in First Picture knocks out almost every high end car you guys have. Color is a toupe, dismissing both Audi's, all BMW's, CTS, Challenger, Flex, Genesis, Fit, FX, RX, 6, Both Mitsu's, Both Nissan's, G8, Smart, SX4, 2008 Jetta TDi, (Since Left the Fleet 2002 Jetta)
It's now between:
Edge, Focus, Civic, and Prius.
Second Clue:
Rear Brake-light Position. Knocks out Prius, Edge, Focus.
What's Left?
CIVIC GX!

That is most certainly the Civic. Ignoring the sniping about build quality, I know because I've got that same compartment/well/sunglasses-and-iPod-go-here-place in my Si! :D

Civic GX.
Tsk Tsk.
Better luck next time, Donna...

"CHMSL?"
Center High Mounted Stop Lamp
aka Brake Light

CHMSL...
center high mounted stop light?

It's pronounced Chimsel, as in tinsel.

I call it the third brake light. Around here, oftentimes the ONLY functioning brake light.
