  VW Rabbit Meets 'Playboy' Bunny   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Clad only in their panties, one of the models, Holly Madison, has the red VW Rabbit icon, which has been used in guerrilla outdoor postings in the campaign, as an apparent tattoo on her bare lower back.
After they emerge from a tunnel, other Rabbits, including ones with paint jobs suggesting the mixed genes of both parents, emerge; dogs chase them down the road; and finally the streets are clogged with Rabbits.
VW unit sales were up 6 percent in June over the same month last year and increased 20 percent to 116,000 units in the first six months of 2006, according to Car Concepts in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

 Rabbit
But the original Rabbit (Volkswagen Golf), in turn, was a copy of the Simca 1100, which the Omni/Horizon twins were based on.
Another peculiarity of these Rabbits was a system that required the use of shims to adjust the drive belts, not the smartest system in the world considering the layout of the engine bay.
The Rabbit was the first Volkswagen produced in the United States (at a plant which is no longer used), and it sold moderately well for a premium small car, averaging 130,000 units per year.

 CNN.com - VW to start using Rabbit name for compact once again - Apr 18, 2006
VW is bringing back the Rabbit name, 22 years after it renamed the Rabbit as the Golf.
VW officials are hopeful with a new design of the vehicle, the reintroduction of the Rabbit name in the North American market will help breath life into the vehicle.
VW sold 1.3 million Rabbits in the United States between 1974 and when the name was changed to Golf with the 1985 model.

 Rabbit History
And so it was that the VW Rabbit was born, and there was nothing quite like it on the market.
In 1981, more changes were made to the Rabbit, no more small tail lights, the square headlights got carried over from the previous year, the signal lights in the bumper were replaced with new wrap around signals.
In late 1979 for the 1980 model year, the Rabbit pickup, also known as the “Caddy”, was introduced, about 3 feet longer than the Rabbit car, the little truck could haul a lot of stuff and was still economical.

 VW Rabbit makes a terrific comeback
The Rabbit trumpets 150 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 170 pounds-feet of torque at 3750 rpm, which is plenty for your daily driving needs.
The Rabbit boasts a laudable 94 cubic feet of passenger volume and 15 cubic feet of cargo volume.
Though suppleness is its trademark, the Rabbit also packs quite a lot of power, an impressive performance, a generous interior and the conveniences of a hatchback.

 VW's Rabbit springs back - 04/12/06 - The Detroit News Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Volkswagen AG's American unit is renaming its Golf the Rabbit, the name under which VW introduced the little hatchback to the United States in the 1970s.
The hatchback was sold as the Rabbit in the United States and Canada from 1974 to 1984.
But VW dealers suggest the trouble was that the new Golf wasn't available to U.S. buyers until this year, two years after its European launch.

"The Rabbit was always exclusive to the U.S. and Canadian markets; while the rest of the world had the Golf, we had the iconic Rabbit," said Volkswagen's Director of Brand Innovation, Kerri Martin.

 globeandmail.com: VW Rabbit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Yes, the too-cutsie Rabbit name has re-emerged after a couple of decades of peaceful extinction with the introduction last week of the rebadged for North American consumption 2007 version of the car known everywhere else in the world as the Golf.
You'd have to ask VW of America's director of brand innovation Kerri Martin, who, apparently not too clear on what that title infers, is convinced names from the past such as The Thing, Beetle, Fox and Rabbit resonate with buyers on this side of the Atlantic.
VW's marketers could have been a little cleverer (as they once upon a time were) than conjuring the old Rabbit name out of their "brand innovation" embroidered thinking caps

 Volkswagen Golf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VW purists in America and company executives in Germany were displeased, and for the 1983 model year the Pennsylvania plant went back to using stiffer shocks and suspension with higher-quality interior trim.
The Rabbit name used on the Mark 1 was meant to give a car a cuddly image, but with the eighties redesign of the car, Carl Hahn, the former Volkswagen of America president who was now chairman of the whole company, dictated that Volkswagen model names be standardized globally.
VW had previously pioneered similar technology in the VW Polo "Formel E" in the 1980's.

 Rabbit redux | The San Diego Union-Tribune
The VW Rabbit is a Jetta with its trunk lopped off; underpinnings, drivetrain and major mechanicals are shared.
In 1984, VW killed the Rabbit and renamed it the Golf, the label the car had all along in Europe.
The bigger Rabbit no longer feels tinny and cheap.Many pounds were devoted to safety features such as structural upgrades, layers of sound-damping and improved crash-resistance.

 First Drive: 2006 Volkswagen Rabbit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
VW also finishes the Rabbit's cargo area richly and gives the Rabbit's driver a fat three-spoke steering wheel to grab onto.
That means Volkswagen is hopping, we mean hoping, the Rabbit's lower price, improved hardware and cute new name and marketing will get more urban, college-educated folk between the ages of 18 and 34 to head for their VW dealer.
The word "rabbit" does not appear anywhere on the car; instead, a small chrome bunny cast midhop decorates the hatch by a chrome 2.5, which denotes the Rabbit's engine size in liters.

 Straightline - VW Rabbit name being rebranded in North America
VW used the Rabbit name here from 1974 to 1984, and then replaced the name with the global Golf moniker.
If all VW is doing is calling a Golf a Rabbit, they may be in for nasty deja vue as the Rabbit developed a justified reputation as the worst assembled cars there was (VW closed its USA plant in part because of its shoddy work).
VW is going to be suprised that just a name change can drop their sales I mean just when the golf finnally looked good they change the name to rabbit if i was Porsche or Audi i'd do some thing about this.

 The Truth About Cars
VW dealers couldn’t care less; nurturing understandably impatient leads is hardly worth the pennies of revenue it generates.
With increased demand for versatile, fuel efficient vehicles, VW Rabbits should be hopping off car lots and crowding streets like the swift, promiscuous creatures they’re named after.
The rabbit is the answer to: “Where did the Golf go?” It didnt go anywhere, they just sell the Golf GTI and the new golf got renamed the rabbit.

A fl VW Rabbit (returning the Volkswagen Golf to its earlier U.S. name) chases a white Rabbit through the countryside, catching it in a tunnel.
The proliferation of Rabbits at the end of the spot is a clear metaphor for the ‘people’s car’ that Volkswagen is meant to be.
While this advertising blog believes that the VW Rabbit has more differentiated and unique brand equity than the Volkswagen Golf ever commanded, it is a mistake to slap the Rabbit logo onto a Golf product that hasn’t changed much.
