The civilian version of the VW 181 Kurierwagen was indeed marketed as 'Thing' in the US.

Made in Mexico. The 181 shown over here, are the later, Mexican made one, with the ugly "elephant foot"-backlamps of the 1303.

lol that last one, the red one, i think was the fire engine from "circus knights" that shot napalm

The bad guy disabled the brakes on the yellow Thing. Michael Knight was driving the VW on a narrow mountain road and he called for KITT's help. KITT raced up the mountain and turbo-boosted over the Thing and then KITT braked and and stopped the Thing from going over a cliff. There was an awesome shot from inside the VW looking up as KITT flew over the Thing. I think the bad guy messed with the brake master cylinder and Michael even held the master cylinder in his hand.

The napalm was so powerful it was causing damage to KITT's molecular bonded shell.
