CougarTim ◊ 2010-09-21 23:55	Isn't Fusca just a nickname, like Beetle or Vocho?
ingo ◊ 2010-09-21 23:59	Principially yes, but at least for the last officially sold Typ 1 in Europe (the Mexican made 1200 from 1978-1985), the Volkswagen AG took over this nickname for the sales-brochures. Before that they used these plenty of nick-names -every language has its own, just look around at IMCDB- only for magazine-advertises.
Gomselmash11 ◊ 2010-09-22 01:04	VW Sedan "Fusca", in my opinion? right?
stu ◊ 2010-09-22 14:04	Several Nicknames and "Selling" Names, what about calling it: "Käfer"
ingo ◊ 2010-09-22 14:09	To be authentic, we can use "Käfer" only for the German speaking countries.
stu ◊ 2010-09-23 16:41	I know, but were are Beetle/Bug/Käfers etc. Roots? And who calles for Example a Chevrolet Impala "Springbock" . But at least, it shows that the VW Typ1 was and even is a real World Car...
