Get the Volkspalm mug.1. A derogatory term for the Porsche 911, referring to the style and general look of the car. Jeremy Clarkson hated this car so much the term became a running joke on Top Gear, a BBC car review/talk show he hosted.

Get the Volkswagen Beetle mug.One of the best car companies of all time. Starting with the Beetle, they continually fired out proven winners with the Scirocco, Vanagon, Karman Ghia and later with the Golf/GTI and Jetta. Time and time again, they've continued to find success with both younger and older generations, instilling a sense of family and comradrie in the drivers, similar to that found in Jeep owners. Most Volkswagen owners who take their cars seriously gain valuable insight into the world of German engineering, tweaking the lines of their cars to both increase their overall performance and retain an impressive and distinct style at the same time.
I just picked up an R32... and blew the unpainted body kit off of a 1991 Civic that attempted to race me.

Get the volkswagen mug.Volkswagen is a genuinely great car company. Their cars are built solidly, are fast, agile and fun to drive, plus they're not too expensive. They aren't overstyled like the crap Hyundais and Kias and their interiors are classy as fuck. Their lineup ranges from sporty small cars to refined large SUVs. They are even the producer the iconic Beetle and the stereotype inducing Jetta. In addition, they invented and still rule the Hot Hatchback category with the Golf GTI. Their engines are easy to work on, last forever and will run for at least 350,000 miles. Though they have a reputation for smaller things breaking, the overall quality and build solidity is exceptionally high. Parts are shared between Audi and Porsche, as they are all one company. This gives VWs the feel of much more expensive cars and has resulted in a large following of VW fans around the globe, similar to BMW or Jeep.
Dude, I juts got my new Volkswagen GTI, it's really fucking awesome. I don't think I'll buy anything else ever again.

Get the Volkswagen mug.Technically a German outside Germany during Third Reich. Such person usu. considered themselves German despite they lived outside their supposedly mother country.
More likely a bastard that pretended to be German to get advantage of the Nazi way of civilizing Europe. That included:
1. safe passages in the streets during massive, haphazard terror bursts of Nazi military force in cities; such actions involved catching humans like some sort of animals to satiate concentration camps or simply performing executions in the streets.
2. robbing empty ex-Jewish and other houses which later brought shame to the nations under Nazi occupation (cuz every country has its own vermin that feeds on the lowly ones)
3. making a buck on bribes for not turning in Jews, Poles, Roma and other persecuted humans to the Nazi
Modern use: an individual that fled Poland and chose Germany as their mother country and now pretends they can't speak proper Polish, can't understand Polish reality, looks down on their former mother country and generally speaking is hard to deal with because of his fake "I'm German now you lousy Poles" bias towards his ex-natives.
