Man !
You can't even get the explanation right!
BOXER refers to the engine configuration.
BOXER engines are horizontally opposed.....

I say that all water-cooled VWs are waterboxers, meaning, I guess that
their engines are boxes with water. And if that is not the case, I hearby
make it so. From now on all water-cooled VWS will be called waterboxers.
The beauty of the English language is it's ability to change and
absorb new traditions.
