Gotcha, Big Al, sorry if I sounded antagonistic.

I did a search on the Trademarks and 'Volkswagen' does not seem have
exlusive rights to using names like: Beetle (they do have 'New Beetle'),
Bug, Type 3, Squareback or Fastback.  I guess if we keep away from the ones
that are trademarked, they can shove their license :-)
