Jerry, confusing, isn't it?  When I got here (Germany) and heard 
of a 79 Passat for sale I thought they were nuts.  In the States, the 
Dasher was a late 70s/early 80s thing and it was just like the old Passats of Germany.  The German second Passat was never 
in the states, not even called something else.  Then the Passat lll 
was also called Passat in the States.  So the US has Passats from 
90 on up.  Also in the States, the Golf/Rabbit was called Rabbit until 
84 and Golf from 85 on.  That Santana thing is called Quantum in the States.  Hope this clears things up for you a bit.  I think the Scirocco and Corrado are the only ones that always had the same name in Germany and in the States.
