OT:"Caddy" or "Cabby"?

[veedublu@prod.net (John Van Vuren)]

As the resident "pickup expert" if you will....

The name is Caddy

It's more than just a nickname...  it's what the model is officially named
anywhere but the North American market.  Kind of like how the early Rabbits
(A1 chassis) were "Golfs" in Europe.

Cabby is a reference to a Cabriolet, or Rabbit convertible (technically,
there are differences between a Rabbit Convertible and a Cabriolet but I'll
leave that to someone else)
