That is correct, the MERKUR or Ford Scorpio as it is called in this part
of the world, along with its predecessor, the Granada uses the same
112-5 bolt circle as the Audi 5-bolts, MBs, VW buses (71 up), Passat (97
up), and VW Sharan with its siblings Ford Galaxy and Seat Alhambra. Note
that there are always differences between rim sizes and widths, offset,
bolt holes and center hole.
These are the only cars that uses the same bolt circle as the Vanagon.
