Neither.

The platform is an VW/Audi internal designation and is *not* the model!
Don't confuse the A4 platform with the Audi A4 model, for example.

Here are the platforms (European designations in parentheses):

plat	U.S. model	models
	years (approx)

A1	1975-1984	VW Rabbit (Golf), Jetta, Scirocco
A2	1985-1992	VW Golf, Jetta, Corrado, Passat
A3	1993-1997	VW Golf, Jetta (Vento)
A4	1998-		VW Golf, Jetta (Vento), Audi A3, Audi TT/TTS

B1	1973-1979	VW Dasher (Passat), Audi Fox
B2	1980-1987	Audi 4000, Coupe, VW Quantum (Passat, Santana)
B3	1988-1992	Audi 80, 90, coupe
B4	1993-1995	Audi 80, 90
B5	1996-		Audi A4

C1	1970-1977	Audi 100LS
C2	1978-1983	Audi 5000 (100, 200)
C3	1984-1991	Audi 5000, 100, 200
