Re: Twins?
There's no doubt the type 34 was copied from the Corvair's styling. Sad really, that VW felt they had to copy a car that was an Americanised copy of their mechanical design.
Of course, nowadays there are no new ideas in car design, and every manufacturer is copying everyone else.

Re: Twins?
Chevrolet also had quite a variety of Corvair models, including an Estate (with FOUR doors)
Cabriolet...
Van...
Pickup...
Corvorsche??
(Relax, it was just a concept
)
This is what a Corvair engine sounds like in a buggy - Steve McQueen behind the wheel (as from 0:32)
