New VW commercial

« on: April 07, 2008, 07:31:53 PM »
Has anyone else seen the new Volkswagen commercial that uses a talking aircooled black beetle? The commercial is very cool if for nothing else than the fact that VW is looking to the past to promote their new cars. I've been trying to find the commercial online to post it here but I guess it is still too new and hasn't made it to YouTube yet.

I've only seen banner ads posted at http://www.vw.com/, didn't know there was a commercial to go along with it. If you find it, I'll put it in the gallery.

**FYI**
For reason when you click on that link it goes to the VW website but it gives you an OOPS. IF you click on the link that say go to VW homepage it works.

The link is adding the comma following the address . . . try this one http://www.vw.com

The regular expression incorrectly matched the comma as part of the link. Try removing it.

Just saw the ad again. The 64 beetle is playing the part of a German talk show host and Heidi Klum is the interviewee
I did manage to find the ad on USA Today. Just go to the link below and on the left hand side click on play underneath the picture. A quick commercial will play before the VW commercial plays. Russ, maybe you can figure out how to embed it in our site.

Cute ,  I'm not sure which one I would take home first to show the parents.  Both ?   I'm not sure about that. Only one of them gets 30mpg and a lube job at 3000 miles.  The other one is high maintanence and may drop a valve on you early on. Hmmmm :shock:  :roll:

I just saw one with the same Beetle except that it was interviewing David Haselhoff.
