Yup, I know, I'm a little late on this, its monday today, anyhow:
I always refer to my VW as my Caravelle or my Syncro, even though I have a
Vanagon GL badge on the rear.
For future reference, choose below:

"Its not a car, its a Volkswagen"
"Its not a bus, its a Volkswagen"
"Its not a van, its a Volkswagen"
