Not 14x6.5 ? (That's what was measured when I had new tires
put on the other day)

Now those I know: for reason completely unclear to me,
the Passat notchback sedan was called the Santana - while
the US versions were all labelled Quantum. I only realized
that the Santana was indeed a Passat after I noticed the 
equal naming on US cars... Was all this done simply
because there previously was no notchback Passat?

Good.
