What do Germans call Beetles, Type 3s and Bay Kombis ?

Can anyone tell me what the Germans call each of the following VW models - trying to create an ebay ad in German, but struggling a tad 😉

Type 3, Beetle, Bay Window Kombi


Cheers

I suspect its

Beetle = Beetle

Type 3 = Typ 3

Bay Kombi = Bus T2

Cheers

beetle = kafer

They also call Kombi's as Bullies.

Fließheck - fastback
Stufenheck - notchback
Variant - squareback

don't call a typ 3 a T3.

beetle=kafer
type3=type3
bay kombi=bulli type2a

beetle - kafer
type 3 - kombi
kombi - transporter
thats what they called them when i was there last july, staying with some frankfurt friends 😉

Now im confused, but thanks for the suggestions anyway

Cheers

Beetle is a "VW Kaefer"

Type 3 is a "Typ 3"

Kombi is a "VW Bus"

The word "Combi" is used for station wagons in Germany.

no kombi doesnt mean wagon variant means wagen and that is not limited to vws
kombi refers to buses that could be converted from passenger to cargo by removing seats you can still by a t4 kombi today even in australia it is much more basic than a carravelle and better too plus cheaper (think KOMBInation!! eg combination vehicle:thumb)

I hear that the germans call them all heaps of junk ???????

mscabrio, most of them probably do :thumb. but there are fanatics too. kind of like here really.

PMSL ..... I was wondering when someone was gunna pick up my comment !!!!


I think that a lot of people think that VW's are heaps of junk. I think that they are uneducated !

I have a mechanic friend who calls the bus a 'nut bucket' He will get a shock when the EJ22 engined bus blows his smokeblowing Pintara's doors off. 🙂

If you want to really impress, try spelling Kaefer as Käfer. To get the ä you hold down the alt key with your left hand while typing 132 over on the right (using that funny block of number keys you never normally use for anything). Then let go of alt. You can get a ü with 129. Unfortunately on some sites, like Hotmail and this one, the numbers for other german characters also do wierd things to the screen. But usually 148 gets the umlauted o, or oe, and 225 gets the B-shaped double s. And for some reason 206 makes a little Balkenkreuz!:thumb Of course, computer-literate people can assign these things to the Function keys at the top of the keyboard to avoid all the digital gymnastics - apparently.

Wow takes me back to the BBS days when all the cool dudes would make ASCII art. I messed around with other numbers and some cool shapes come up.¢£¥▓│┤╡

Oh I see, not all of them will come onto the screen.
