Re: VW LICENSING PROGRAM (loooong(er))

	Haha, guess again...

''Okay, in 1963 Porsche announced the 901, a car based on the venerable 356 model. The car was renamed 911 because Peugeot had a copyright on all 3-digit car model numbers with a zero in the middle. The 911 has gone on to become, arguably, the most popular car ever produced by Porsche.''
