rpcm ◊ 2007-02-16 22:26	Yes, this is an European version. -- Last edit: 2007-02-16 22:53:05
ahight ◊ 2007-02-17 00:18	see that the name's been updated to "bus"...thought that was just a US nickname?
antp ◊ 2007-02-17 14:27	It seems also used in Germany and in Netherlands (which is the country of this one) according to the Wikipedia pages.
DIEHARD ◊ 2007-02-18 21:37	'Busje' is actually slang for any type of van in Dutch....

In Germany most people call a VW Bus/Transporter/Vanagon "Bulli" (sometimes even the T4 and T5). This nickname is very common, but VW was never allowed to use it officially, because the neme "Bulli" was reserved by annother company.
