Does it call Transporter even though it is a pickup truck? |
|

Yes, as the Transporter is the commercial version with the lowest trim line. The other names like Bus, Caravelle, Multivan, Vanagon are caused by the interior, the luxoury options and so on. |

Come on Ingo, nobody calls a Pritschenwagen "Pick up TRUCK" .gif ";)") |

The Americans do. But they had the VW Pritsche and the DoKa only between 1968 and 1971, as Ddey65 told it recently. Absolutely noone says "light commercial lorry with open load area", which would be more exact.  due your comment I got a flash-back to my very first English-lessons in the primary school. We've learned, that "lorry" is the correct word for a smaller truck with an open load area. But noone of the native English speakers here uses this term. |

I know that Americans always declarate a Transporter like this "pickup", the declaration/the word "Lorry" is usualy only used in the UK, but not in the USA. Maybe our american Friends -like rjluna2- can learn something about the german VW names... .gif ":)") |

"Brezelgolf" I've already explained. |

Brezelgolf? |
|

The nickname, used in the VW-fan-scene for the very first 1974/75 Golf I (swallow-tail back panel, old front hood, integrated headrests, front brakedrums, etc.) A Brezelkäfer is the first Käfer, so a Brezelgolf is the first Golf. |

 Drums in the front? I didn't know that. Oh dear. As a Polo Fox driver I know how frugal VW basic trims are, but this really takes the bisquit... |

Only the basic Golf I and only in the first months had brake-drums in the front. And your Polo Fox is a luxourious equipped limo, compared with the earliest basic Polo's. Do you know, what was available for them only for extra charge? For example: right sunvisor, glovebox-lid, day-odometer, door-look for the right side, heated back screen (o.k.,this was always an extra at VW, same with laminated front screen and a right mirror) and many other thing, too. Not to forget the electric washer-pump. Otherwise you had a rubber-pedal for pumping besides the clutch. |

 Yes, I know the story about the extra pumping pedal, but it's still funny each time I hear it. And the basic 0.9 litre-engine is another story. At least the mechanical parts were more reliable then. My car was made in early '93( in Navarra  ), even before the horrible Lopez-effect took place and it still leaves much to desire. No ABS, no power-brakes, no power steering. I'll never understand why the first owner cancelled all that and ordered a (probably quite expensive)sunroof instead. And everything that doesn't belong to the basic technical layout (engine, suspension, brakes) is rubbish and was designed to last no more than ten years. Still, in spite of its ruined interior and moody electrics it keeps on running with minimum maintenance which is the only reason why I haven't scrapped it yet. And the only reason why I got it in the first place was because it came for free with only repairs for a couple of hundred Euros in parts to do and almost 1 year TÜV left. That was in 2005, and I planned to get rid of it in 2006. But all the years that have passed since then have convinced me that there are many ways to travel faster but almost none to travel cheaper. It taught me modesty and a way of more relaxed driving . I can't say I like my car, but I sure have learnt to appreciate it. It sure would be nice to have a faster or more comfortable car, but it's not really necessary in the end. I can recall a fitting quote from Kierkegaard saying: „Das Vergleichen ist das Ende des Glücks und der Anfang der Unzufriedenheit.“, so there's more in life than having a nice automobile. I hope I won't get banned from this site for this comment... |

Aha, Brezelgolf never heard that name, but as I sayed, never learn enough... Drumbrakes, yes, but just for the 74 basic Golfs (Ithink for the 50 HP only) |

Yes, only in the first months and only for the small engine (it was available for extra charge though - typical Volkswagen...) |
