I'm not sure what you're saying here - are you claiming none of these are names for winds?

Well tbh he is kind of right - never heard of a wind called ''Up exclamation mark''. Im pretty sure that Golf and Polo are sports. Or did VW sponsor the world's best golfer or get a big sum from Ralph Lauren at the time..?

Golf is named after gulf stream (which isn't a wind, it's a current, but still); passat is the German word for trade wind.

Not forgetting the Polo wind, which smells of peppermint.

Google translate says that 'all wheel drive' translates to 'trazione integrale' (is this where the ti badge comes from?). Either way, it sounds better than Q4 anyway.

TI stands for Turismo Internatzionale (or something like that, I've probably spelt it wrong). Goes back decades and comes from international saloon car racing.
