VW has arguably best ad agency in the business, Crispin-Porter. As they've done for a number of their clients, they're doing a fantastic job of bringing new attention to an established name with an entirely new image in their ads. Their commercials (both the very humorous Unpimp ones as well as these far more serious spots) are getting a lot of attention and buzz as evidence by this thread, other threads, and blog posts.
Yeah. They were on the cover of BusinessWeek recently. Also the agency behind the awesome "King" Burger King commercials.

Yup. In both ads the driver was completely at fault. I mean, how could he have seen that guy run the red light and slam into him?

i think they are fairly clever. caught me by surprise the first time i saw them a while back.

i just bougt a VW, but not cause of the commericals. ;)

the passat is a fun car, even though it's a sedan (saw it in some other thread you got a passat :))

just gotta lower the suspension, get a chipmod, perhaps a larger turbo, and some 17's will do nicely ;)

anyway, good car, my family has a 1999 silver 1.8T and i love it to death :)

I got the V6, fully loaded. but i am ... well, let's put it this way...

when i sat my fat ass on the leather seats while listening to he premium sound and was playing with the seat warmers and electric sunroof and admiring the cherry wood dashboard... i did not take a lot of things into consideration... like the gas, the maintenience... $200 for a key???!!!! it is a friggen key!!! the key to my last car was $1.99 at the local hardware store!!!

but i love it. every time i drive it, i love it. nice car, great price ... and it is nice looking inside too.

:)

Yea I recently (March) got one too. I love mine to death!! :D


I like the commercials with the megaphones too

Say what you want about these commercials, but they are working. They really make me want to crash into a VW Jetta. :D
