[edit] Hippies

There is a passing reference to the "hippie" movement but this does not appear to be referenced or expounded on. At minimum a reference is appropriate. But given how significant this "trend" had on the popularity of the Beetle (and Volkswagen) it seems appropriate to expand this discussion a bit. Anybody have more info on that aspect of history? --Mcorazao 18:19, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is this page about the brand or company?

The Prophets and the AG would make this page look like a company, but shouldn't this page be about the brand Volkswagen, and put the prophets on the VW group article similar to Mercedes and ChryslerDaimler set-up? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alan Frize (talk • contribs) 18:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Vandalism

I had deleted a vandalized section in the beginning. Please check to make sure, and lock if needed. Thank you.Ryou-kun16 17:38, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Largest car manufacturers

I believe the introductory paragraph might be outdated, as some figures have now listed Toyota as being the largest auto manufacturer, having surpassed GM. Lapunkd 16:51, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Founded

Is it fair that you use the Nazi Germany flag, it gives Volkswagen abad image, and i dont think its really fair. The modern VW company was founded after the war with the help of a British Army General anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.111.113.24 (talk) 23:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't this article talk a bit about the relation of VW with the Nazis and the SS at the time? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.126.34 (talk) 16:31, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Type 82 or 83?

The caption below the picture of the Beetle identifies it as a "Type 83." Yet clicking on the picture itself leads to its own page, where it is labeled with a "Description: VW Typ 82." Which is correct? 66.234.222.96 (talk) 13:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
