Slight alteration to the text below:

All the first generation Passats were inexplicably called Dashers here
in the US (I owned 3 of the NA diesels).  The second generations were
given the slightly less annoying label, Quantum.  The third generation
on Passats for some reason have all been curiously called Passats (I
owned a '96 tdi).
