Well at least here in Germany the VIC 20 was sold as VC 20. One reason might be that Commodore Germany feared that "Vic" sounded too much like "fick" (f*ck)
Also IIRC it was marketed as "Volks Computer", the VIC 20 was meant to be what the "Volkwagen beetle" was car wise.
Edited by TheMagicM: Language ..use a * where needed.
