Last words of Best Cars Web Site about Santana: " The first luxury car of Volkswagen of Brazil, pioneer in the electronic injection among the three-volumes and in the brakes ABS, arrived at the end of your life cycle with success among the taxi drivers, since GM abandoned them when leaving of producing Omega, in July of 1998. Of refinement or technical innovation nothing else remained veteran Santana, but he passed to the history with a respectable curriculum. Certainly he will leave longing, for it being the first national car of great production to gather cruiser characteristics, gran routiére, words in English and in French that define a car as own for trip hours and hours in high-speed, with comfort and safety for driver and passengers ".
