I'm quite sure about that. I have seen the spec sheet, and we have been
at a Volkswagen dealer in San Jose where he bought that car, and while
he was giving it away for service I talked with the dealer who explaned
me that he sells regular Passats made in Emden, Germany, and Passats
made in or made for (I'm not sure of that) Mexico.
I know the Passat 3BG very well, and the interior quality of this Passat
was noticeably worse than any 3BG I've seen before.

In 1990 there was no Passat 3BG.
