Are we sure it is a Bora? It seems a little different from the others
(otherwise, it would be a Bora A4 Typ 1J I suppose?)

Does look like the second gen China bora to me (2008-2013 model):

I think origin should be china, no?

Indeed, we only had one 2008 model (2013 seems different) and not seen from the front, hence why I didn't find which one it was :)
Are the two currently listed without year also 2008 models? (rear view, it could match the existing 2008 with rear view)

The two are indeed also 2008 models. I will appeal once again, are we sure we wanna list the Volkswagens made in china, but which were made in europe aswell as the "european" gen (like first chinese-made Bora being listed as a 4th gen)? Chinese-made Bora is currently on its 4th gen...

Well those models are the Chinese-build of the A4 Bora, so it does not seem so wrong to list them that way, as back then they were a 4th gen Bora, even if it was the first gen being from FAW-VW.
Maybe we could drop the A4 and keep only the "Typ 1J".
But is the current one really a 4th generation or just a 4th restyling of that 2001-2002 model?

Well I'd argue that theres a degree of separation made by listing these cars as a FAW-Volkswagen, so you wont get "first gen" bora for european/american markets together with the "first gen" one for china. And yes, there are really multiple different generations of Bora made in China. 2001-2008, with facelift for MY2006, 2008-2016, with facelift for MY2013. Then theres the 3rd gen, but which can be argued is a heavy rework of the second gen, built without facelift from 2016 to 2022, and lastly the newest one built from 2018 to today, with facelift in 2022.

Or maybe, for the Shanghai/FAW VW, we could drop the whole A4, B5 etc. generations, and just use generic mk1, mk2 etc.
