In China they produced VW Passat II sedan (like this one), under name Santana. Where is it? -- Last edit: 2006-09-17 22:04:54 |

http://www.csvw.com/csvw/product/santana/index.htm This is in China (The car has a Chinese license plate) so it's a VW Santana. |

Shanghai Volkswagen (make) Santana (type): http://www.csvw.com/csvw/en/product/santana/index.htm SVW is a joint venture company of Chinese SAIC and VW: http://www.csvw.com/csvw/en/index.htm The beefed-up Shangai Volkswagen Santana 3000: http://www.santanachina.com/default.html The success of this type outside Germany is rather interesting, as the original Santana was considered butt-ugly and a car for older people here... It could be an earlier rather basic model, as the fog lights (to the inner of the "normal" lights look like fakes. I had an earlier 1983 [32B] Passat Variant myself, and this car also had the fake fog lights. For the more expensive models, the fake lights - plastic reflector with silver cover inside (!) and transparent cover - were replaced with working real lights. .gif ":)") @garco Passat II, all Passat I had double round headlights - see here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/VW_Passat -- Last edit: 2006-09-17 23:02:17 |

Some of the Shanghai scenes were filmed in the US, and that's definitely a prop number plate. Real Chinese plates have raised letters. |

All? Some versions from 1973 and, later 1976 had also square headlights. .gif ";)") |

Sorry, my fault. Most.  |

No problem. |

Some scenes were made in Shanghai and Zhouzhan, China, according to IMDB. If this would have been made in the US, this would of course be a VW Quantum. -- Last edit: 2006-09-17 23:17:03 |

And some of the Shanghai scenes really are Shanghai. Just to make things more complicated, the producers might have shipped a few Shanghai-Volkswagens over to Los Angeles. It might be easier than hunting down old Quantums. |

An US version would have sealed-beam headlights, that looks different than that... /vehicle_21969-Volkswagen-Quantum-Wagon-Typ-32B-1984.html -- Last edit: 2006-09-18 00:18:07 |

http://www.passat.blauu.de/modellgeschichte/typb1/Th_b1_03.jpg Single round headlights for the base models, square for the 'L' versions, and double round for the 'GL' and 'TS' models. -- Last edit: 2006-09-18 01:01:54 |

Is the make/marque/brand actually "Shanghai-Volkswagen" or is that just the parent company? Seems like they are simply badged/sold as Volkswagen. |

Color-keyed bumpers looks some face-lift (pre-1995) version. Which model year?  |
