Ingo ◊ 2009-10-19 07:43	It's in Brazil. There is no "Beetle", only "Fusca"

rjluna2 ◊ 2009-10-19 23:20	It is country's nickname. I have notice the IMCDb posting listed with nickname along with real name.

It was not regulary used by VW, but in the last years from 1978 to 1985, when only the Mexican made 1200 was available in Germany, they had printed "Käfer" on the sales brochures. Same in other countries like the Netherlands ("Kever") and France("Coccinelle"), where the nicknames were on the brochures. These two countries only as examples, I think, it was the same in other countries, too.
