Some of us might need a translation on what some of those actually are.

Santana & Santana Vista = mk2 Passat which was heavily revised in the 1990s, it mainly sells to Taxi companies.

Lavida = with FAW VWs New Bora are the first VWs to be developed for the Chinese market and are based on PQ34 (Mk4) componentry and both sell very will in their class.

Very fluent in your Chinese.

FAW-VW models are easier to understand,as they are mostly all known to us here in Australia.
