NationMaster - Encyclopedia: VW Pointer

The Volkswagen Pointer was a family car sold by Volkswagen in South America, in the 1990s. It was based on the Ford Escort, being the result of Volkswagen's 'Autolatina' joint venture with Ford Motor Company, which also saw the Volkswagen Santana rebadged as the Ford Versailles. Although there were sheet metal differences between the Pointer and the Escort, the styling cues (including the door handles) were still noticeably those of Ford rather than VW.

The Pointer name is still used by Volkswagen in Mexico, on a version of the Brazilian Volkswagen Gol.
