Can main one be an "Arriva" (if it was sold in Norway) or some other runout edition due to smoked taillights? |

Smoked taillights by aftermarket suppliers were available, neither Zandvoort alloys nor the script on the C-pillar can be seen - but the color appears to be Arrivablau Metallic, so this is indeed an "Arriva" (which is probably the most unusual name for a runout edition ever...), by the lack of the rear spoiler it's a 1.6 or 1.8. Good job @Bux_48! |

Thanks! well, arriva in Italian means "arrives", so even more strange for a car which was going out of production |

Yes, I meant exactly that, but actually hadn't noticed this marketing paradox before. |

I think there was a commercial here which said something like "arriva Passat Arriva" |

They knew exactly what they did - otherwise they wouldn't have justified it in the brochure: "Arriva kommt von arriveiren. Was soviel heißt wie ankommen, vorwärtskommen, Erfolg haben." = "Arriva comes from arrive. Which means arriving, moving forward, being successful." Or in my words: "Blah-blah, we know we totally suck at finding proper edition names, but HEY, we already have a solution, now let's find a matching problem." |
