 Helmut Zeidler, you know better than this.
 The Bug the the Type I, all Busses are Type II (from T1 to T3 at least,
the T4 is not a real Bus),
 my Squareback is a Type III, and the 411/412 is the Type IV.

This is actually a Type II T3, eventhough even VW is doing wrong in some
literature, probably to be understood by their average employee.
Do not confuse Type I with T1.

 Please don't confuse the poor Americans with misleading information.
