VWs latest China model – named the ‘La Vida’

Shanghai VW, Volkswagen Group China | | March 3, 2008 at 12:45 pm

Chinese motoring fans have been getting excited ever since the motoring press leaked rumors of a fabled model just for the Chinese market, not the new Jetta, nor the new Santana 4000. Model Y as its codenamed, is expected to be an entirely new model for the Chinese market made by Shanghai VW and SAIC.

We have since learned from the above screen shot (click for bigger version) that Model Y is now to be named the ‘La Vida’, and is an A-segment car, thus above the Polo but below the Santana 4000. We are unsure which mischievous fellow took the above photo, but it is currently circulating far and wide in Chinese automotive circles.
