This explains what cars are built in China and by whom.....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Group_China

Jetta Mk5 = Sagitar (rebadge) FAW VW
Passat B6 = Magotan (rebadge) SVW

Facelifted Passat could be the Passat Lingyu which is Skoda Superb based which is a LWB B5 platform. (SVW)

Also the Passat B2 is still sold & made in China as the Santana and facelifted version as Santana 3000. (SVW)

fuzion: the Chinese Golf Mk4 Bora HS has different rear and front ends.

Brazilian will have wraparound rear lights aka Golf Mk5 and Polo like front lights

Yeh, I later realised the stupidity of my question when I found my self saying it looked like the old golf, then realised that was because it is MK4.5 not 5.5...
