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.
