It's a touring badge. When cars from abroad would travel during vacations, some countries required the car to have a badge signifying the origin of said car |

Blame Interpol.
Many of the ones seen nowadays are not Interpol designations. For example, locally some people have PF which stands for Pflugerville, a small cotton town near Austin that has blossomed into a mid-size bedroom city. |

And that dude is actually Swedish.
VDub was a parody tagline, used in a short series of commercials for German car manufacturer Volkswagen. As part of a 2006 advertising campaign for Volkswagen, advertising agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky created a series of three television commercials directed by Jonas Åkerlund, starring Swedish actor Peter Stormare as an effete German engineer named Wolfgang, and German model Zonja Wöstendiek as his assistant Miss Helga. The ads were created as a parody of MTV's Pimp My Ride. |
