Cars That Won't Die: Volkswagen Santana - 2013 Cars News

It may have been just a second-gen VW Passat, but the Santana was hugely popular in Brazil and China for many years. If you find yourself hoping right now that someone at Volkswagen was a big enough fan of Carlos Santana that they named a car after him, you aren't alone. Unfortunately, the name is just a coincidence. The Santana is a second-generation Volkswagen Passat, which lived on much longer in South America than it did in most markets, and even longer still in China. Only a few automotive platforms have lasted longer than this. And most of them are also Volkswagens.
