VW TV ADVERTISING

There can be such a thing as a dumb/bad commercial but for the most part if you see a commercial that you don't "get", it usually means you're not the target audience for that particular product.

VW TV advertising? You mean VW actually has them? I haven't seen any lately. The ones they did for the Beetle back in the 1960s were sheer genius, and got a lot of media attention - much to the dismay of GM, Ford, and Chrysler.

VW has always been known for quirky ads. It's part of the cachet.

The commercial in question is obviously targeted to the 18-25 Gen X-er.

Yeah, but think back to some of those great old print ads. Many had unusual pictures of the cars, or had them in odd spots, where the car was barely visible. Remember the classic where the big wording under the ad was Lemon? According to the original posters theory, one would have bought a lemon rather than a VW after seeing this ad.

....... This is the one I remember the most - perhaps they should show off the Jetta's huge 16cu ft trunk by picking up sets of golf clubs or something.

The commercials seem to reach out to people my age (early 20's) - getting mature and responsible... but not quite there yet... Tho the Mk4 definatly has more appeal then the current model for people my age.

No, see what this commercial shows is that Jetta is for the hip young guy who has great business savvy, also the Jetta is stylish and roomy enough to lug the executives around... From what I've seen - I don't think you really want to have passengers in the back for really long time.

I guess that's where the term "lemon" for a bad car came from? Or the term "buggy" in software development?

Buggy, or a "bug" in software/hardware comes from a dead bug (moth I believe) in one of the old vacuum tube computers, it screwed something up - causing certain circuits to not function... they found the bug and removed it.

It depends on how far back the front seats are pushed back. While not

Of course this was for shortish trips (less than an hour), but you could do much worse.

Teenagers don't count. Must have been the Popes Golf.
