@wkiernan: This ad actually introduced me to Nick Drake, for which i am ever thankful to VW (and their ad agency's creative team).

@AarG: Also a classic... no compilation of VW ads should EVER be without this one.

@gotsmart: I think it carries on the fine tradition of VW ads having a clever concept and excellent copywriting.

I can't believe you guys didn't include the original Corrado ad... one of my faves:

Looks great in black!

Hasn't it been well-documented that The Stig has actually been several drivers over the years?

Penske bought the dealer network, including an agreement by GM to supply them with some product for a few more years.

Why can't car companies just make good-looking wagons?

Was the Scirocco EVER coming to North America? I seem to remember it being not in the books from the time it made its début.

This is a stunning little car. The only things that bug me are the bare metal rear seatbacks and the fact that they don't fold flat.

It looks like a Jaguar with a botched facelift.

Opossums are marsupials, so there may have been young in its pouch.

This looks like a Huyndai. Those wheels look straight off the Genesis Coupe, and the tail lights look like a Santa Fe.
