A bit of a strange case this car, it was both manufactured as well as sold by Nissan.

Foreign manufacturers in Japan at the time had to sell their cars through a Japanese dealership chain.
Volkswagen decided to partner with Nissan and build a slightly narrower version of the Santana so it would fall into a lower tax bracket, making it more affordable for Japanese consumers.
