Best and Worst Looking VW's of All Time....

And in Germany.

The Mk2 Jetta was also called Jetta in Europe. The Mk3 was the Vento.

VW Saveiro and Taro. One a nice pickup sold only in S. America, and one a fugly re-badged Toyota something or other. Many others...

Where's the new Jett ..... never mind. I see it. Yep. I agree.

Old bus needs to be at the very top! Expensive VW's all go at the bottom.

As another reader pointed out and it still has not been corrected - the A4 Jetta in Canada is still a Jetta. There are a bunch of people that run around taking off the Jetta nameplates amd putting on Bora nameplates, but it is officially a Jetta, not a Bora.

I guess that aluminum panel truck doesn't count with the VW diesel engine in it. What was it called? A Cub van or something? It was a small panel truck made with aluminum body with swing out rear doors that had a complete VW power train. Diesel are the ones I saw. I know because I sold a couple of them when I worked for a VW dealer. I borrowed one to pick up a family member's dirt motorcycle. It was fully enclosed. It was freakin' ugly though functional. I do not believe though VW made the body.

This perked my curiosity. I went through some archived invoices to find what this was.

It was a Grumman Kubvan (1985 vintage) and had an automatic transmission and a/c, though I remember it as a VW diesel. The beginning of the serial is: 1GWKJ21JXFGMXXXXX

I think the boys at Scion had it in mind when they designed the xB.

These were made in the US though weren't they?

yup, I believe by Grumman, used to be on Jeep chassis but now on Chevy S10s, which would explain the resemblance. Unless you go WAY back to the Studebaker Zip Van but I haven't seen one of those in years.
