the best commercials ever, and it is about time the ricers get what they deserve

edit: singing in the rain is the best one I think.

[Racing Rice]

I love the new commercials. I think it is great what VDub is doing. :D

[Wren57]

Haha... MY FAST LIKES THE WINDOWS DOWN.

Great concepts for the Vdub german dude. Singing in the rain will be a poor exicusion for them. 51 seconds of a 60s ad dont even communicate its a car add. Most people will tune out as they dont understand, or care to think.

The totaling other cars ads are cool.

The sad thing is that the guy in the white coveralls (or whatever they are) with the funny accent has done some really good work in movies. Now he's doing VW commercials. *sigh*

Oh...and I do love those ads.:D

My buddy just got one of those new GTI's... it's pretty sweet... I don't like how they look but it's quick as balls and he was still breaking it in...

I think it makes it's peak torque at like 1800 rpms..

It's pretty sweet... there's NO turbo lag.

That actor rocks... I'm sure he's doing the VW commercials by choice... I'm guessing he probobly likes VW.

[nonovurbizniz]

[CD5Passion]

OOOHh he was satan hahahahahahhahaha

Peak TQ at 1800? You sure that's not the TDi? I mean...in a gasoline engine making peak TQ at 1800rpm is about as useful as making peak TQ at idle.

[ebpda9]

yeah, vw is known for making the torque down low in the rpm range.

[Mischief]

unpimp ze auto

not only does it make peak torque at 1800 it holds it til 5100. efficient turbo w/ 10.3:1 compression, and direct injection, sweet.

[nonovurbizniz]

yeah man it's a really nice car... I don't like how it looks but it was fun to drive in... I'll get a chance to drive it somewhere down the road.

Oh and I just saw another one the other day with the cloth interior... OMG is that cloth UGLY... it looks like a 92 corolla.
