If there is, it's a cool name for a car.

I looks like a crate made into a car. Sort of militaristic/utiliy. But convertible/Jeepish, too.

With all the bustle and activity in the VAG, I wouldn't be surprised to see a new Thing. Or someThing like the old Thing. Those Things looked like fun, but I Thingk the Baja Bugs received more attention. Ha ha, OK, no more.
Below: "Where The Wild Things Are" ....assembled, that is. |

The German Army needed an Jeep. So the Volkswagen folks went to work and created Die Kuebelwagen. Volkswagen sold some in America, and since most Americans cannot pronounce Kuebelwagen, they named them the "Thing". I went to High School with a Thing owner and he said it was the greatest off road car he had ever seen.

Teh beetle was good off-road. You just picked up the parts as they fell off
 Didnt it have something like 36 horsepower?? Either way, it was equal to the jeep in pretty much every way.

Yeah, Kuebelwagens kick ass. Superior in every respect to jeeps. They had suspension for instance.
