The Volkswagen Rabbit of North America is fondly called the
"Bunny" by many people but around the world this car is known by several other
names. The name "rabbit" comes across as off-the-wall if you consider the names
of other Volkswagen vehicles. For example, the Jetta is a trade wind, a Sirocco
is a hot, dry, dust laden wind blowing from northern Africa and affecting parts
of Southern Europe according to reference.com. So this information would make
you wonder why the Rabbit was called the Golf in Europe and called the Caribe
in South America (el Caribe is the name of the Caribbean sea in Spanish and a
Caribe is what they call Piranhas in South America.) We dont have an answer to
any of these questions, we are only left to speculate but we do know that
because of the different names Golf it hints at its worldwide acceptance. Thirty
three years after the European introduction of the Golf, Volskwagen Celebrated
its twenty-five millionth Golf produced which rolled off the line in Wolfsburg,
Germany in March 2007. The Golfs, Rabbits, and Caribes that replaced the VW Bug
were produced in places all over the world, including Wolfsburg, Germany,
Canada, Westmorland, Pennsylvania, Brazil, Mexico, Assembled in Australia, and
China. The obvious success of the Golf can be pointed out in the resurrection
of the name in 2007 and we can only wait to see what is next.
