Young Germans don't know the 2CV anymore, even the original Volkswagen
Beetle is a rarity in Germany. I haven't seen a 2CV for years and I only
saw a few original Volkswagen Beetles (Käfer) within the last years.
IOW, if you yell out "Ente", people assume that there is a bird and not
a car. A man from Great Britten I know, often was joking about
"auto-aggressive", since the German word for car is "Auto", so driving a
car in a ruthless way for him was "auto-aggressive". He was a platonic
friend of a former Girlfriend of me. This girlfriend was auto-aggressive
by the psychological meaning and when she drove the car in a "sporting"
way, he called her kind of driving "auto-aggressive". British humor :).
