Yep, complete with the VW badges!

I'm not too sure what the reasons were (being that Nissan had more than enough of its own product competing in the Santana's market segment) but they were assembled by Nissan in Japan - I travelled in a VW Santana once, and I was surprised by the Nissan parts (i.e mirrors, wipers - engraved with the Nissan logo) within!!!

wasn't the Santana also known as the Passat?

[joh2]

It was the sedan version of that generation of Passat.
