That's just how commodity cars were back then before everything came with big alloys and rubber band tyres as a status symbol MadmanO/T People said:

1978 USA market VW Dasher. A 3 door, a bit Passat, a bit Scirocco, a bit Audi 80. https://jalopnik.com/at-3-800-could-this-classic-1...
That's just a nastily modified Passat B1, which was a European model, also sold in the UKFYI, the B2 Passat/Santana was called the VW Quantum in America. It wasn't until the B3 came along when the Passat name was finally used in the USA.
The interesting model which never made production was the 110bhp GTI engined hot version with the Scirroco steering wheel, Bahama Blue paint,lairy tartan trim and boot spolier

Can't say I've seen one of these before:
Looked it up and it's some kind of kit car based on a Land Rover Defender, their old business address was Hexham which is where I took the photo, but they've now moved to South Yorkshire

The sort of car Jeremy Clarkson thinks he knows but actually doesn't.

It's actually a Federalised version of the B1 facelift GLS model (which had quad headlights, the LS had 2 x square units which didn't make it to the US) which looks otherwise identical.

Wasn't there an Audi version of something very similar to this? I certainly remember seeing something with perhaps an Audi 80 or Audi 100 badge, maybe it was just coupe, when I was a kid living in Germany.The interesting model which never made production was the 110bhp GTI engined hot version with the Scirroco steering wheel, Bahama Blue paint,lairy tartan trim and boot spolier

That’s s missed opportunity. Despite having neither the time nor the body construction skills, if I was making a kit car I’d kill two birds with one stone and it would have to look like this :
