rjluna2 ◊ 2010-12-26 21:21	Seems to be a later model with this wheel fitted in
Ingo ◊ 2010-12-26 22:32	Not neccessarily, they were an extra option (and usual for some special editions). I don't know, if they were called correctly "Carat"-wheels, because the special Golf-,Jetta- and Scirocco- "Carat"-versions had them. The Passat/Quantum [32B], too. If correct or not, at VW-freaks the term "Carat-wheels" is common for them. -- Last edit: 2010-12-26 22:33:43
Gomselmash11 ◊ 2010-12-26 22:34	Carat? this the name received here, the locally produced VW Santana.
Ingo ◊ 2010-12-26 23:45	Yes, the Santana was also available as "Carat". Oh, I just have looked at Wikipedia about the "Carat"-special models and I've read, that even the T3 Caravelle was avilable in "Carat"-trim.
Gomselmash11 ◊ 2010-12-26 23:58	yes, i see this... well, probably because a problem with the name (sounds like Santa Ana in spanish) not called Santana here. http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/v/volkswagen_carat.htm
Ingo ◊ 2010-12-27 00:02	Ah, I see. In Europe the "Carat"-edition was the most luxourios elegant version of the different models, with all kind of extras.
Gomselmash11 ◊ 2010-12-27 00:03	Yes, here are an expensive car in the 80's. Now, not very common...
