The Passat thing is a common misconception - it's a MK2 GTi rear beam on 4cyl Corrado's (base suspension) and a MK3 GTi on the VR6 (plus axle)

Where does the misconception come in though as i thought some parts were still passat.

 

Is it just say the floor pan at the back or similar?

When the Corrado was first marketed the slight passive rear steer given by the rear axle bushes was referred to as being like the recently introduced Passat, in fact the mk2 golf had the same bushings and most of the Passat parts are actually specific to the Passat and not shared like the Golf 2 and Corrado bits are.

Also, the similar appearance of the Passat and Corrado dash and switchgear meant journalists often referred to the Passat when writing about the Corrado.
