   There are plenty of VWs around here.  The nickname of the VW microbus is
_umbrigos_--belly button.  I haven't seen that catch on in the States.

I would guess that the nickname comes from the round "VW" logo centered low on
the front.

(BTW, for the Yiddish-impaired, "puppik" /'pUpIk/ = 'bellybutton'.)
