Remember the Volkswagen Rabbit from the '80s? Ever wonder what happened to it? Volkswagen decided to standardize its model branding and use the same name as the model in other countries: Golf. Someone at Volkswagen realized people in this country have an affection for the old VW Rabbit and decided to put the old name back on, beginning with the restyled 2007 Volkswagen Golf, er, I mean Rabbit.
