[snip] Jetta has the same aspirations as saab: made of jets it is not. It's a very idiotic name for something in between golf and passat.

Not jets, but winds:

"Though numerous sources suggest the Jetta nameplate derives from the Atlantic 'jet stream' during a period when Volkswagen named its vehicles after prominent winds and currents (e.g., the Volkswagen Passat (after the German word for trade wind), Volkswagen Bora (after bora), and Volkswagen Scirocco (after sirocco)) ... no conclusive evidence suggests that Volkswagen employed a naming theme..."

Names matter most to marketing types; it doesn't change the product, although it can influence a customer's expectations thereof.
