Saw a Brazilian made model year 2000 Golf TDI today on a south Florida dealer's lot. The vin number read as follows:

9BWGF21JXYxxxxxxx

A sticker defined content as follows:

US/Canadian 1%
Germany 70% (Engine and trans specifically listed as German)
Brazil 20%

I don't know where the other 9% comes from!

It also stated the place of assembly as CURITIBA, Brazil.
