I think they called them "Fox" or something stupid like that. But by the 90s, they had aligned the US names with the German names and it was the Jetta. I remember seeing VWs with "Fox" on them around the same time you'd see Rabbits but by the time I was driving they'd all become Golfs and Jettas.
I believe the Fox came from Audi into the VW line-up. It was more like a Rabbit than a Jetta (although these latter two were closer earlier in their respective lifecycles). The Jetta was also marketed with the Bora (European) name. And on another note, I now see in Canada that Jetta Wagons are now branded as Golfs (European name for Rabbit).
