Since this is a German car, wouldn't it be a VW Passat? Where is it called a Santana? |

I was wondering about that too. If Wikipedia is to believed, the saloon version of the Passat mark 2 was badged as the Santana from 1981 to 1985. |

Passat sedan was called the "Santana" from 1981 to 1985 when the name was abandoned. From 1985 to 1988 it was just Passat Sedan. I think it's impossible to say which one this is. |

I thought Santana was the US name, like Jetta instead of Bora and Rabbit instead of Golf. |

The notchback versions had their own names, at least in the beginning: Polo -> Derby, until 1985, then Polo Classic Golf -> Jetta, later Vento (Golf III), Bora (Golf IV) and back to Jetta (Golf V) Passat -> Santana -- only for the Passat II up to 1985. Passat III was a notchback right from the start. The Passat I notchback pendant is the Audi 80. -- Last edit: 2009-08-28 03:50:11 (G-MANN) |

There was a facelift in 1985 along with the name change. I think the chrome lining of the windscreen disappeared with the facelift. |

Main visible things of the facelift were the bumpers, the grille, the front and back lamps and the whole back. This one is definetely a Santana. |
