Volkswagen Apollo
The Volkswagen Apollo is an automobile which was sold in Brazil between 1990 and 1992, when Volkswagen Group and Ford Motor Company shared models in South America in a joint venture known as AutoLatina.
It was a rebadged version of Ford Brasil's Verona, a two-door saloon/sedan based on the European-sourced Ford Orion.
It was replaced by the Volkswagen Logus, which was, similarly, in turn, based on the Ford Orion.

[edit] Engines
The Apollo was only available with VW's 1.8 litre petrol engine. There was also Ford's 1.6-litre CHT engine only for LX version of Ford Verona.
[edit] Versions
A choice of GL and GLS versions was offered, gasoline or ethanol powered. A recurrent complaint from customers, owners of VW Apollos, was about the steel rod-operated gear shifting (instead of the traditionally used cable-operated).
