Nevertheless one knows the Santana at the basis lying concept, differently than with the VOLKSWAGEN Derby and with the VOLKSWAGEN Jetta, not when failed regard, because since 1988 is the VOLKSWAGEN trade wind only as notchback model (as it were than Santana successors) and than Variant available. That was surely because of it, the Santana/trade wind notchback against a legend frequently which can be heard better sold itself than the diagonal tail variant. In 5.7 years construction period for nearly as much Santana/trade wind notchback was built as in 7.5 years trade wind By this criterion one can also understand that the finished developed diagonal tail variant of the trade wind found the way to the buyer starting from never 1988.
