[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Make your own car on that site & go for the test drive.....

"this satellite radio is the bomb schnizzle!"
"Oh no he didn't"  In a German accent......  Friggin hilarious  

[6pkrunner]

Those are some of the best ads on the idiotbox in decades.

[89MOPAR]

 "MyFast has a problem..."

" Myfast says delivery is for wimps"

MyFast wants it light in here"

I like the Myfast set, but these depimps are great too.

"Shake what your motherland gave you !"

"What does this do?" "It sucks in air." "It's definitly sucking"

[The Ghoul]

just like ze germanst wanting every one to think and act the same.  Also want every one to drive the same thing... just like the founder of that company adolf hitler.
I hate any commercial that tries to market there product by insulting a group of people... even if they are horrably misslead.

[wetfeetmi]

Honey, I can't hear the engine with all that yappin'

[defiance]

Sure, it's stupid.
Sure, I'd never buy a VW before, and the image the commercials convey makes me want one less.

They're so funny, though!!!

[Crazy Larry]

Oh yeah, and I hate it when someone makes a feeble attempt to get all political and takes all of the fun out of an upbeat thread...

Boo-hoo somewhere else, Ghoul-boy.

zig hile to you too .
its bs that a company sunk so low to win over the working class... guess it worked.
this commercial was designed to differentiate the vw from the commonly held view of imports.
Im not trying to rain on any ones pride parade here,
its an oppinon based forum and my oppinion is whats the point of sinking this low to sell cars.
yes its funny to some, but im not buying it..
thats all

That's one way of looking at it.

Another way is to just sit back and enjoy them smashing the crap out of those buzzy little blinged up POS's.

And don't worry about anyone's "pride parade" (Cripes, I could barely get myself to type something that sounds that stupid), I think most everyone at this site drives mainly American, my family drives two Dodges and a Chevy.

My wife drives a VW Beetle diesel! She finds the ads rather amusing as do I. What does this have to do with Nazis? Nothing! It appears to me VW has a finger on the pulse of the younger set. I would be more concerned with D/C than an ad campaign by Volkswagen. I think they are genious. Lots of people I know are talking about them.

[6pkrunner]

They are pitching the car to the younger set and using humor to do it. I wouldn't read anything beyond the superficial surface into the ads. Comedy and that their cars are an option to making your own dime-a-dozen Asian variants. I love the ads and don't read anything beyond the surface into them. But to see the National Socialist party's ideals in it is quite illuminating to say the least.

Lighten up Ghoul... jeeze, does this mean you hate all people of german decent as well... man, it's only a commercial

ok guys as usualy my intent has been mis-read. the natzi talk was just kidding around. i dont think that germans or the vw company are currently socilist. I did however find it ironic that the commercial is destroying peoples individualizem and trying to get them all to drive the little white cars that look like every one elses.
I am pissed tho. I personally like vw but I hate it when any one insted of trying to promote themselfs they try to tare some one else down.
It realy isnt that big of a deal and I dont know why this became an issue. It was fine and the topic moved on.
I dont like it
it has stunning simmularity to the ideals of adolf hitler
in my oppinion its a low way to sell there cars and is not funny
my oppinion means what now? nothing to any one but my self.

i think you guys are making this way more difficult than it has to be.

[MyMopar]

I don't see them tearing anyone in particular down. They don't mention brand names or anything, just pointing out if you want style AND performance use this car as a base.  The ad is just that, an ad for a car.  I find it funny, especially because the Mob guy from Prison Break is on it, Dabrutsy (or whatever).
I find it a far cry from VW trying to get everyone into their little white car, who knows, they may even sell it in another color, like Nazi red?

Ghoul -

Don't give up arguing yet. That way this can turn into something like that "I hate the Dukes of Hazard" thread.

[71charger_fan]

VW dumped their long time ad agency and signed some relative newcomers from Miami. Personally, I think they've done a great job. I like both the fast and the unpimp series. My wife thinks "the fast" is stupid. The ad guys acknowledged that the fast would probably annoy women but said the vast majority of the market for GTI type cars is male so they decided what the hell. They may want to lighten up on the whole German engineering rant though. It's all that German engineering that has gotten VW to the bottom of both the initial quality and long term reliability ratings. Heck, the Koreans are beating them in both categories and not too long ago anything made in Korea was disposable.

im thinking thats exactly a reason to retire my stance on the subject. any one that dosent know I feel or why I feel it by now hasent read the whole thing.

"OH Snap!" Your no fun.

"OH Snap!" Your no fun.

Its not about being fun or not fun....its called the right thing to do or else this will get the
Self policing at its best!  A mod's dream

[squeakfinder]

  Oh, I was just kidding around

[wetfeetmi]

Just 6T9 CHGR, I am sorry, I did not mean to stir any political pots. I was amused by something "automotive" and  thought I would share. I am not an antagonist. Have a good day. Rick

[mustanghater]

I like the way the car looks, I'd rather drive that then what I'm stuck with now.
