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...

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.

Looks like a US postal service truck.

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.
