A community portal about Volkswagen Beetle with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Volkswagen Type 1, more commonly known as the Beetle, Fusca, Coccinelle or Cox, Vocho, Bug, Volky or Käfer, Escarabajo is an economy car produced by the German automaker Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003. Although the names "Beetle" and "Bug" were quickly adopted by the public, it was not until August of 1967 that VW themselves began using the name Beetle in marketing materials. It had previously been known only as either the "Type I" or as the 1200, 1300 or 1500, which had been the names under which the vehicle was marketed in Europe prior to 1967; the numbers denoted the vehicle's engine size in cubic centimetres. In 1998, many years after the original model had been dropped from the lineup in most of the world VW introduced a New Beetle, bearing a strong resemblance to the original.
