The new Santana is basically the same car as the new Volkswagen Jetta and the new Skoda Rapid, all based on the new PQ25 platform.The Santana and the Rapid will be made by the Shanghai-Volkswagen joint venture, and the Jetta by the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture. All three cars are aimed at the same segment, cost about the same, and look the same except for the grille. Marketing this mess won’t be easy!
