Topic: Volkswagen Thing


  
  Sports Car Market > Profiles and Price Guide > 1973 Volkswagen Type 181 Thing
Things have become something of a cult classic, due in no small measure to their quirky styling, modeled on VW's original military Kuebelwagen but with angular rather than curved wheel wells.
Thing doors are removable without tools, and the flat look of the hood and fenders leaves no question as to its strictly utilitarian purpose.
Volkswagen banked on American enthusiasm for all things VW; however, the Thing's suggested retail of around $3,000 was about $1,000 more than a Beetle, a fairly obscene price for something with a steel interior and a bikini top.

 Volkswagen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1991, Volkswagen launched the third-generation Golf, garnering the European Car of the Year for 1992 (the previous two generations were nominated but lost to the Citroën CX in 1975 and the Fiat Uno in 1984).
The current Volkswagen Golf was launched in late 2004, came runner-up to the Fiat Panda in the 2004 European Car of the Year, and has so far spawned the new generation SEAT Toledo, Skoda Octavia and Audi A3 hatchback ranges as well as a new mini-MPV, the Seat Altea.
Volkswagen has recently acquired a 15.1% stake in German truck manufacturer MAN AG, whom recently launched a takeover bid for the Swedish truck maker Scania, in which VW holds 1/3 of the voting stock.
