m.pfaffeneder ◊ 2012-03-07 16:32	model origin is USA!!
antp ◊ 2012-03-07 16:32	"The vehicle was developed by Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive and Volkswagen Passenger Cars, and is partially based on the PQ46 platform used by the European Passat." (wikipedia) Shouldn't we list as origin = China then ?
m.pfaffeneder ◊ 2012-03-07 16:34	AFAIK this Passat was especially developed for the USA.
