Hello Volksforum!
My name is Tim.
I am really sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this in;

I am curious about the Volkswagen Santana mk2.
It is pictured here;

The car in the middle.

Now, I have done a little research and it looks like it is only released in China and Brazil?

Seeing as how it was not released (from what I can find) in this US is it pretty much out of the question for purchase in the US? I emailed VW about it and have heard nothing back.

In one forum I read somewhere someone said it was the non-North American version of the Passat. I can see how they look similar - is that true?

Any information you guys have on this car, I'd be very happy if you could share it! If it's not going to be a logistical nightmare trying to obtain one - I am considering!

Thank you, again!

-Tim

basicly, if it wasn't sold in the US, you can't import it..

There's not really a reason to want one either other then the rarity of it. They are modern versions of a 30 year old design.

there's a few members here that have one though,
check this part of the forums for more info:

Hey What´s Up!
Well as I Can see... the VW Santana in the picture is from Brazilian Police!
It´s a very common car in here, I think that the most part of line production of VW Santana is here in Brazil... I don´t know... but I think too that there are some VW Santana in Argentina, and other countries of South America (maybe with a different name)
It´s can be equiped with a 1.8 or a 2.0 liters MI engine and now it´s not expensive anymore. A lot of guys here in Brazil like this car because it´s very confortable!
There´s some hot stuff of the brazilians modified VW Santana MK2!



I realy love this color!






* could anyone tell me if these wheels also exist elsewhere in the world? Here it´s called Orbital (from the VW prototype "Futura"... it was shown to the brazilian public in 1990 during the São Paulo Saloon)
I Know that another prototype was created in Germany... it was called Orbit... please forgive me if I´m wrong or maybe have changed the names!

Some Interior...







Original








That´s All Folks!!!
