stronghold ◊ 2006-01-06 10:09	I wondered what this VW was really called.! (In toy cars ..Johnny Lightning..call this a VW 'Thing' .!!)
antp ◊ 2006-01-06 10:26	It was the US nickname I guess, like "Beetle" for the Typ 1.
Exiv96 ◊ 2006-01-07 20:00	Not a nickname but the official name ! http://carguyart.com/products/1973_VW_Thing_brochure.cfm Link to "www.arts.ualberta.ca"
antp ◊ 2006-01-07 20:44	Interesting... so we should rename the 181 used in US movies. But on the other hand, Beetle was also used as official name at a time I guess?
BeanBandit ◊ 2006-01-07 20:52	Interesting, there is not the forefather of this model (Kdf Kübelwagen) on this page?
