"to own santana, not to be afraid of the world."
A "national highway speed top10 ranking" inspired me to remember that era. In the figure, with the exception of mercedes sls, mercedes sl500, japanese gt-r, all the other models were branded, except santana, under the popular flag, which was able to appear with another popular vehicle that had been nominated。

For now, regardless of the origin of the map. The extent to which santana is in the country is completely beyond the reach of other vehicles。
The chinese-foreign joint-venture car project in shanghai began to take place in earnest long before china's policy of internal reform and opening up to the outside world, which began in december 1978. After multiple rounds of negotiations, the german volkswagen corporation, which offered both technology and funding, became a partner in the motor vehicle project。

At the time of the negotiations, the santana model we knew was not even on the market — yes! The santana prototype was passat b2 produced between 1980 and 1988。
In response to two requests made by china during the negotiations at that time: first, the introduction of a model requires advanced technology and a medium-sized car, and second, the introduction of a model that meets a variety of uses, such as official vehicles, commercial vehicles and taxis. The passat b2 model is perfectly satisfactory。

Chart: passat b2
After arriving in china, passat b2 changed its name to santana and acquired the name santana, which is popularly known as pusan. Subject to the technology at the time, 89,000 of the first santana models of domestic production were completed using domestic assembly of german imported spare parts, after which the rate of national production of the santana model rose and the 100,000 santanas were removed from the line on 28 january 1992。
If the models santana 2000, santana 3000 and santana vista zhijun were included, the generation would be full of chinese-style santanas, which were produced from 1983 to 2012。

Of course, santana has its own strong place。
The first nationally produced santana carried a 4-cylinder 8 gas-carbed gasoline engine with 1. 6 l charge, which produced the maximum horsepower of 87 ps, followed by the launch of the 1. 8 l model with the maximum horsepower of 95 ps. By 1995, the santana 2000 model, the leather seats, the inside locks, the electric windows, all of which appeared to be quite luxurious at the time。
At the same time, the santana model in the 1980s and 1990s, which consumed about 6 or 7 l, was as high as 200 mm from the ground, and the road conditions at that time were completely clean。

And the santanas, the rivals at the time, were about 505 and the dragon treasures, with a similar price, probably only jeda and cherokee. With regard to the audi 100, toyota crown and sun-born bluebirds, they are destined to be the only ones to choose the trenches, despite their good product strength。

However, even if it were a mass vehicle model, the term “santana” was not the same as santana in the 1980s and 1990s, even though santana at that time could have made santana guilty。
How much for santana? Let's start with a picture:

Indeed, the average santana model price is approximately $138,500, while the santana 2000 model with the electric spray version (which was introduced after 1998) offers close to $200,000。
Whereas in 1985 the average per capita wage was approximately $1148, in 1998 china received only $7479 per capita even on the lower line of the santana 2000. Note that the above figures are average annual wages, converted into average monthly wages of just $96 and $623。

At the level of the economy of the 1980s and 1990s, “three” items, representing wealth, were replaced only by watches, bicycles, sewing machines in the 1970s, refrigerators, paint and washing machines in the 1980s. By the 1990s, standards had reached air conditioning, computers and video recorders at most. Cars, for the vast majority of families, are overscaling。
On the basis of the average annual salary of 2000-3,000 yuan in the early 1990s, it is also necessary to save a santana for about 10 years。

In the early 1990s, around 160,000 yuan, equivalent to santana's price, were also used in the beijing haidian ring of 80 square metres. Today, however, the size of houses in the three rings of beijing has risen to over rmb 8 million, and some sub-regions have even broken into rmb millions。
It happens that today the rolls-royce mirage is sold at a price range of 688. 0 million yuan, and just as soon as there is a three-ring house in beijing。

It is said that the santana model of the 1980s and 1990s, even county-level cadres, may not have been able to buy the car — not only do they have bureau of industry indicators and related introductions, but they will still have to wait a few months to open. And that's why the santanas show up: "i was in santana, and it was better than the rolls-royce mirage today."

Really? I didn't know that i had santana in the '80s or '90s, but for all the stories on santana's back, i believed it. After all, they didn't stop at that time。
And it is your turn: have you shared with us the story of santana
