If you thought Volkswagen’s “GTI Fast” TV commercials were funny, wait until you see the company’s latest creation. Three new GTI commercials are now airing with a simple theme: “Unpimp your auto!” An obvious parody of the hit TV series, “Pimp My Ride,” the ads feature the German engineers at VW smashing “pimped”economy cars, and replacing them with the new GTI. Even if you’re not a VW fan, you’ll probably enjoy these ads. See the three videos after the jump…

All of those commercials, including the GTI fast series are brilliant. Not only are they entertaining and funny, but they capture your attention like no other car ad giving good exposure to the new GTI. Now all they need to do is bring back “Fahvergnugen” and this whole Germanglish offensive will be in full effect!

Four of them with the little GTI-Fast ball who will say great things such as “girlfriends just ad extra weight” and then theres three with one of Swedens most famous actors in Hollywood at the moment, Peter Stormare.

On a purely pedantic note. The first commercial features a horribly abused (pimped? riced?) Ford Focus hatchback being referred to as a ‘98 whatever. The Focus wasn’t introduced until 2000.

Fit and finish like something twice the price. LOTS of little details that show an exemplary level of thoughtfulness in the design. And it’s *MAJOR FUN* to drive!

The accent’s part of the joke — it’s a purposely bad German accent, exaggerated to be like what Americans *think* Germans sound like. (And they think Swedes sound like Germans, too, which they don’t.)
I like the third one, where he looks like he’s getting off on un-pimping the auto. Nice.
Gotta give the Germans credit for willing to send themselves up this way.

I think they hit the nail on the spot with these ads. The “fast and the furious” era is gone and dead, only leaving behind a huge trail of tastelessly modified cars. It’s typical to see VW steer their customers away from such a pathetic trend since it goes against all the styling values of VW or any other European car. Can’t help but love them…can’t wait for them to air on TV.

Actually, if you Google VW history, they are in fact the ones that ‘employed’ Jewish slaves. They even set up a reparation fund for those affected. As for negative German comments, perhaps you need to get your head out of your arse. VW did not get rich on the backs of slaves. VW was created by Hitler, and used for his purposes during WW2. It wasn’t until much later that VW, after being freed from their war bonds, was able to come into their own. German automobiles are well-known by true auto experts as being far superior to American cars in most cases. BTW, you would probably be surprised to see how much of your ‘American’ car is actually made in Germany – hell, German car companies own a few ‘American’ brands now. Feuer Frei!

I wonder if they’ll include rebates so you can pay for all the repairs that will be needed. $1300 for a new a/c compressor after 60K miles was just one of the larger expenses I had for my Beetle. To make myself feel better at the dealer, I find solace looking over the repair tickets for other poor slobs who bought into VWs history of quality only to be sorely disappointed. VW should do themselves a favor and just disable the Check Engine light. Sad to say that my ‘73 Fastback is my most reliable ride.

The only thing better than making fun of these low-HP high school jokers and their ‘tricked out’ cars is destroying them with some real power and a trebuchet, a wrecking ball and a shipping container can certainly accomplish that! The VW thingie they’re advertising in the background isn’t all that impressive, but then again, it’s the push behind these commercials, so by proxy, it rocks!

Tja, so verkäuft man eben gute Autos!
I always drive VW’s, currently I do have a VW-Golf convertible.
In my optinon, VW is the best car available:
reliable, good handling, fast, good gas Mileage
( 39 MPG after Removing the “Cat” ),
and gives the owner many many years of dependable useage.
I do had other cars as well, such as american cars
(Chevy, Ford ect.), and they were just hassle and
“Fix or repair daily”.

bought it used 15 years older, sold it flintstone mobile
bottom rusted. Still engine perfect 20 years. my sister owns VW beetle convertible classic i want it. LOL. However your commericals introducing the new VW I
feel are soooooooo disrespectful to Americans, perhaps the car i grew up loving should be crushed it strikes me worse than japan commericals and my family is german. You were almost considered USA history wise why lower standards? I would still buy VW beetle or other cars offered by you just not at PIMP U

As for the “pull my nine” and other overly serious comments. “Lighten up, Francis”
I though they were funny commercials and as you know things are funny because there’s some truth to them.
I suspect most of the negative comments are from guys who have pimped autos and feel a little silly being mocked for that.
VW’s are fun to drive, but I wouldn’t own one. Too many problems reported , dealers I visited were a joke. Maybe they can turn things around.
I drive another German car brand. But no particular loyaly to any brand.

Just to clear things up Hitler did not invent the VW, Dr.Porshe had been peddling the idea usucessfully to German Motorcycle Manufacturers for years.
Also the present VW is not the same VW that used slave labor. The wartime company was a bomb damaged, partially gutted building after the war, no admin, no money no execs. The British occupiers got the factory going to put the local population to work “and provide themselves and the occupation forces with vehicles and maintinence” they handed it to the new German goverment when they left, the German goverment ran it for a decade or so till it went public and became a private corperation with publicly avalible stock.
The VW company of today had NO tie to the “Strength through Joy” car of the Reich.
And lastly VW did NOT pay for slave laborers, the present company is not related to the previous one.. You are confusing it with what was left of I.G.Farben. The last of which WAS liquidated for just that.
They DID on the other hand take reponsiblity for the VW savings books used by the party in the late thirties and the 40s to swindle German citizens out of money saved for cars they never recieved. “The money from the saving books was in an East German Bank”

Racist? Not at all. The
German design approach is minimalist, understated, socialist, pragmatic, etc., and appeals to very thoughtful, highly intelligent refined individuals.This approach is not based on fads and because of that it ages extremely well and holds resale value quite strongly.

Sounds like you aren’t aware that there are cars out there that can seat more than four people. They do exist, and there is more than one of them.

Those commercials have got to be some of THE GREATEST car commercials i have EVER seen.
Too bad i’m too much of a Toyota fan to ever buy a German car. (unless its a Porshe… then maaaybe if i had enough money.)
Kudos to VW though for being inginuitive

If your VW sucked – it was probably assembled in Mexico – check out the final assemble point of the model your going to buy. Make sure it’s Germany. Jettas and Beatles are MEXICAN. Passats and new GTI’s still made in the Fatherland. If Tito is offended – I’ve got something else he can suck on

George Lynch: You forgot to mention that Peter Stormare was the leading actor together with Joakim ThÃ¥ström in the Swedish movie “Den frusna leoparden” (The frozen leopard) which was filmed in 1986. But I guess noone remembers that movie… =)
His brothers name is Johan Storm, born 1978, outside Gävle in a suburb called Forsbacka.

Ray, Ray, a mint 30 year old Beetle cab on a high school lot would have girls all over it. A 10 year pimped unit would have them yelling “Jeffery Dahmer”.I have not owned an original Bug, but one was in my high school garage to work on. I noticed the curious sound of quality when I slammed the door shut. I have driven Beetles and they are very fun because of the flat windshield,German foreign aura, small size, and unique layout.

R-34 then all the Volkswagons in the world that’s worth

2. To Tumdleweed: Not everyone who tricks out they ride is not a CRIMAL. We call it a HOBBY, maybe you should get one or a life. You know some of us CRIMALS like take our cars to the track where it’s LEGAL and test our SKILLS as racers. Maybe if you learn some SKILLS and your know how weak those Volkswagons against a true machine.

Some would equate car preferences to specific cultures and demographics (and many of the stereotypes, for choice of wheels / car make / accessories do seem to hold true). Making fun of stereotypes is dangerous business when a company has an image to maintain.
I am shocked that the ACLU and other organizations haven’t come out the of woodwork and screamed “racism” and ordered a boycott of VW.
That said, the commercials are absolutely hilarious, and I think they will prove effective with the specific demographic they are targeting.

I’d rather drive in complete empty highway isolation a high mountain road with a perfect 924(944 engine) as fast as possible without going off the road, than participate in the seem-to-be-constipated, dead-soul, herky-jerky, stop-and-go, mow down-down-some-Vancouver pedestrians-and-get-deported-back-to-country-of-origin kind of activity.

To Tumbleweed or The ” Purist”
As I said, I ran the tracks which means the circuit, not running people down. It’s a race circuit which is a control area with rules for safety. Tell me purist, do you fell at peace when you fall to your knees and pray to God. My peace is racing. I live it and breath it as do you to your folk. I can see myself runing he track when I close my eyes. To break the limits or to reach a freedom which only one can try by breaking a limit that stands front of him. To find ones strenght and weakness and improve on ones skill. That’s what true racer is. As you said ” to each his own”. Now to the real point, in my opition as racer, Volkswagon shows videos of that smashing tuners to say they better. Honestly prist do you think that a Volkswagon Golf Mk 4 can bet a perectly tune car on the circuit. In my case “No”. Ever a Volkswagon Golf Mk 4 have there limits.

guys pimp their rides cause they don’t know how to make hp.
from that perspective the ads are funny.
that they are aimed specifically at a mkt that maybe knows how to make hp whether they can handle it or not, and also loves dissing “ghetto” AND “my daddy makes my car payment ” types.
the problem may be that vw doesn;t understand how limited that market really is–and that its members are already driving vws making serious power.
it’s kinda like gm spending 3 billion a year on advertising and still losing market share, cuase the ads are aimed at people who know better than to buy chevies.

I personally liked the commercials and found them quite humorous. But I’m also really surprised a major auto manufacturer would call out the ricer community like that and openly mock them! I mean I think ricejobs look stupid and sound awful also. But damn, even though I don’t understand and am not into the whole economy car dressup thing, I not sure making fun of an entire group of auto enthusiasts like that makes good business sense. Still really funny though …

Being a mechanic turned engineer I have to say that VWs are some of the most beautifully engineered vehicles in existence. I currently own 4 of them ranging from 1981 until 2001 (the 86 is an audi…but still made by vw). I also own a Honda civic and a Toyota van. The Toyota was my first car. I got it when I was 15 and I’ll never throw it away. It has 278,000 miles on it and it runs great. It is, however, an engineering nightmare, has more electrical problems than all of my vws combined, and almost nothing works in it anymore but the motor and headlights. The 4wd is phenomenal, though, and I just love how goofy it looks. I cant really complain about the civic other than the fact that it’s on its 3rd transmission and burns oil. I travel for my job, and having a fear of flying, choose to drive everywhere I go. 9 times out of 10, I’m in a vw. I’ve never been let down by one yet. I do the scheduled maintenance, and they’ve treated me well. Parts are cheaper than the Honda or Toyota, and easier to find. They’re comfortable, and ergonomically amazing (though nothing compares to the shifter in my civic…or any other Honda for that matter) and my 01 golf tdi can get over 50mpg. Vws are cheap to insure and cheap to maintain and unbelievably utilitarian. My stock audi can do 0-60 in less than 8 seconds, gets 25mpg, has a top speed of 140mph, and weighs over 3300lbs. it also has heated leather, power everything, awd, abs, 4-wheel disc, and 4-wheel independent suspension. It’s also fully galvanized and has not 1 spot of rust. My Honda on the other hand…smells bad and rusts a lot. As far as dealerships go, I’ve never been to a Toyota dealership…so I know nothing about them. The Honda dealership that replaced the tranny in the civic the first time had no idea why the reverse gear seized solid to the mainshaft, nor did they seem too interested in fixing it when the gear oil drain plug magically fell out and the tranny blew up 3 months later. Vw dealerships are expensive as sin, but the only time I’ve ever needed to go to one, was when some drunk woman in a caravan hit my golf when trying to parallel park. Her insurance company bought me a new bumper and the dealership installed it. I’ve done every other bit of maintenance or repair on my vws and I can tell you from experience they are just flat out EASY to work on. Only basic tools are required, and stuff is laid out pretty plain and simple in the repair manual. I replaced the clutch in my rabbit in 2 hours in my driveway alone…I think I needed 3 wrenches and a screwdriver. The clutch kit was 80 dollars…can’t beat that. Later I replaced the water pump and timing belt for like 75 dollars total, including all the fluids, a new timing belt tensioner, and a new thermostat. That’s pretty friggin cheap. It makes me laugh pretty hard when I see some kid with a Honda fully equipped with a cold air intake and a body kit thinking he’s the coolest thing on 4 wheels. I don’t think I could stand the stupid cherry bomb exhaust note for more than a 5 mile drive, let alone a 1000 mile drive. Smart people drive VWs. High school kids trying desperately to get laid drive riced out jap cars. That’s the bottom line. Representing Deutschland!

my 1991 Pontiac Bonneville (not a sporty car in any respect) has well over 284,000,000 miles on it, seriously. And it sat out behind my house in the dirt for the past two years and, several accedents with deer. Plus harsh Michigan winters. And all it took to start was a new battery and a clean air filter to get it running like it did before. All I did was just perform tune-ups every once in a while.
However the machinerey that I work on at a Chrysler Plant in Detriot (Most of the machines are STRICTLY German made, and imported from Mercedes-Benz etc.) Are terribly unreliable and are extreamaly stupid in design.
foreign engingering can go to hell.
Mabey the US economy wouldn’t be so fricken bad if Stupid US Manufacturing companies would become more competitive and stop allowing or even encourageing foreign manufactures from buying them out.
But on a lighter note, those commercials did make me laugh.

our economy is bad because of a combination of our clueless administration and companies like GM..who made your pontiac. our administration offers benefits to companies who outsource their labor and manufacturing when they should be penalizing it. look at NAFTA and GATT. and companies like GM….between 2006 and 2008 they will be closing operations here in the US equivalent to nearly 30,000 jobs. why? cuz its cheaper to make **** elsewhere because of the afformentioned clueless administration…and cuz they make **** cars to begin with and they arent turning a profit. they make more cars now in ontario then they do in michigan….very american of them. the only reason crysler is owned by a german parent is cuz they were in the ****ter just like GM and daimler-benz bought them up and saved their asses. daimler-crysler owns nearly 13 percent of mitsubishi motors in an attempt to save their asses too, but mitsubishi’s future is still looking grim. summation=american automobile engineering has fallen by the wayside. the germans and the japs just plain do it better, though i drive german for utilitarian reasons.

These ads kick a**. As a VW owner and owner of several VDubs I think VW has finally figured out what has made them who they are. The have definitly hit the advestising market they should have been aiming at all along. I still don’t understand the competeing with BMW and Mercades thing But oh well. Peter Stormare plays an awsome part in the Prison Break show. P.S. All Hondas are “defintely sucking”

That is the most stupids commite I,ve ever heard. Rocket engine, cars, Boy, you really need to losing that joint up. A stock Volkswagen made by factoty specs that can run the street can beat a more HP, lighter,aerodyanic car. MAYBE, your right! If I get a Volkswagen and stick one of those FAST dolls up the exhaust, maybe I,ll get SUPERSPEED. I might even beat an F1 car. One other thing If your telling your I don’t take drugs, well I guest it’s time for your annual CAT scan. A showroom Golf is NOT a ready to race car like a Lancer EVO or Subaru STI. But sense your like stock so much and afaid to change the oil out of your own car. A stock Mazda RX-7 13B-REW 1.3 liter ( yes, I said 1.3 liter) twin TURBO ( no, I didn’t sayed two STUPID FAST DOLLS) rotarty engine, What about the legendary RB26DETT Skyline GT-R engine. The same car that kick the **** out of Porches car on they own event. That car was STOCK. If you what to go 4 cylinders then theres the EJ20 Boxer engine of the Subaru WRX. Next time you see a tuner, tell the owner that a showroom Golf Mk4 can beat them and when they start laughing, They not laughing with you, They laughing AT you.

A new factory Golf is worth more to me, my friend, than a Japanese economy car with twice the Jap car’s purchase price worth of after market add-ons. As far as you and your ilk laughing at me, my comment is this:CHARLIE DON’T SURF. What that means is that you are a programmed drone who is not thinking for yourself. Bob Lutz is a former U.S. Marines fighter pilot and one of his all time favourite cars is an MGB. His two seater was an object of scorn for his neighbours. Grasp the concept of what I am alluding to. A new VW feels better to my senses when operating it according to it’s capabilities, than your cold feeling Lancer, Skyline, etc., regardless of how your cars perform. Even a new pick-up truck is more satisfying to me(measured in light years)to own than the vehicles you like to be seen in. Same for an mint ‘89 Accord Hatch in white.You have GOT to be kidding…Skyline. Lancer. As. If. By the way, some nice folks in Coquitlam, B.C. put VR6 engines into A1 frames(original first generation Rabbits for the uninformed rice-heads). THAT is something that got my attention When I saw it. What you do just bores me.

Have you ever heard the criticism that some Jap makes are too smooth?Also, why do so many asian people who come to America, and make a few dollars, drive German makes? Where’s the respect? Where’s the loyalty? You don’t have any money, do you? LOL. Skyline…No, my friend, wrong, wrong, wrong. Lancer…that car will just put frown lines on my face…spoil my upbeat mood…demoralize me…bring me down…~shaking head/rolling eyes~

About time there was some daily public humiliation for the idiots who try to turn an econobox honda or mitsubishi in to a sports car.
No matter what they do, no matter how much they spend, no matter how tacky the econobox gets, a real sports car’s lug nuts will always require more torque than their riced-out go-cart produces.

The first new car I ever purchased was a Honda Civic ‘98. Before that I had an 87 Accord that was just a workhorse. My next new car was a 2000 Acura Integra. I really liked those cars, though had no notion of ‘ricing them up’. The tin can exhausts and stupid spoilers are for the little kids who want the other little kids to think they’re cool.
Anyway, my wife bought a 2003 Jetta 1.8T after her 88 Chevy died. The first time I drove it, I was AMAZED and how unbelieveably well this car is put together. Solid, fast, handles exceptionally well, and has still not had a single issue. So, 1 year ago, I bought my own VW. A 2005 Passat GLX V6. Not a big knock on them… they have their place, but I’ll never drive a japanese car again! The germans make a mighty fine auto.

You can WRONG,WRONG,all you what,But in reailty (Not include your ROCKET car) The Skyline would snap YOUR Volkswagen,89′Accord Hatch (And your saying I don’t have money ,HA!) in two. Those Japaneese cars are the highest selling car on the market not GERMAN ENGINEERS.Also you don’t care how your car performs. Any dumb ass would care how there car performs. If you truely don’t care how your car performs,you must be driving a KIA (BIG slap in the face). TO: Successful Life
BMW are OK. But the only thing THE KING OF THE EAST is blowing is ” MONEY” so is China and the U.K. to U.S.. Comparing Skyline to a BMW 325 “91, I don’t think so.

A new VW performs very very well, but it also has numerous other qualities. I’m looking at the sum of the qualities of the car. Eddy Murphy drove something like a 1965? Porsche 356 in one of his earlier motion pictures. Why would he do that? Can you see what I’m saying? It is very subjective.

VW IS ONE OF THE LARGEST AUTO MANUFACTURERS IN THE WORLD OWNING AUDI, LAMBORGHINI, SKODA, OPEL, AND A LOT OF OTHER FORIEGN CARS THAT NO ONE HAS HEARD OF SO I WON’T WASTE MY TIME LISTING THEM. WHEN YOU COMPARE A CIVIC TO A JETTA, THE BASE MODEL OF A JETTA HAS POWER LOCKS AND WINDOWS, A BASE MODEL CIVIC HAS CRANK WINDOWS AND MANUAL LOCKS. EVEN THE FEATURES OF EUROS ARE 10 TIMES BETTER. EUROS HAVE HP/TORQUE RATIOS RIGHT THERE WITH EACH OTHER, OTHER MANUFACTURERS MIGHT HAVE DECENT HORSE POWER BUT VERY LOW TORQUE. CHECK INTO IT FOR YOURSELF. I HAVE A FRIEND WHOS FATHER WORKS FOR MITSUBISHI IN ONE OF THERE PLANTS AND IS OFFERED A REWARDABLE DISCOUNT TO BUY A MITSUBISHI AUTO BUT REFUSES TO BECAUSE HE BELIEVES THE ENGINEERING IS CRAP!!! YEAH MITSUBISHI HAS THE EVO, BUT LOOK INTO HOW RELIABLE THEY ARE AND NISSAN HAS THE SKYLINE, YOU HAVE TO GO TO JAPAN TO SHIP ONE OVER. ALL OF THESE MANUFACTURERS HAVE ONE GREAT CAR TO BRAG ABOUT, BUT EUROS HAVE MULTIPLE.

Yeah, I gotta agree with Sean above. All the talk of the Skyline or whatever….. Big deal. People jost don’t seem to realize that in addition to ownership of the manufacturers listed, VW also owns Bently and Bugatti. Remember, the Veyron is built by VW, has a W-16, 1001 hp powerplant under the hood. Should be good for well over 250mph. They don’t need to do much more to the GTI. Why should they feel obligated to impress the “boyz” with mamma’s coffee table mounted on the trunk of their Taiwanese (oops I mean Japanese–same thing) carzzz?
Great commercial!!
Oh yea, I’ve owned VW’s for years and I have the new GLI. That is as close to the GTI as I’ll be able to have now with 2 kids. Good enough!

Right….besides S2000, Eclipse, NSX, RSX, 350Z, RX8, let’s say (which, btw, almost all are much more engineered than V-Dub’s so called “hot hatch”), most of them look like crap…it all comes to what do you prefer, ordinary looking+real engineering or pretty good looking+****ty engineering…I, for one, prefer the first option…If GTI mk5 is “real german engineering”, generally known as outstanding craftsmanship, then the UK Mitsu Evo FQ400, with a 400bhp 2 liter engine, it’s alien tehnology…by this asociation, in this commercial, I think V-dub made a fool of itself.
Someone here said something about Veyron…well, I’ll tell you some things about that car…to manufacture one, just one, it costs 5 million euro (!!!), and they sell it for 1.8 million…the tires only are priced as this V-dub is…so, good business they’ve made…let’s say it’s just a marketing tool and profit doesn’t count, I’ll go with this…but, how about that top speed of 250 mph? Well, there is a tricky part…normaly, the car reaches about 230 mph..if you want to exceed 250, you must prepare the car by inserting the contect key in a special place…then, when you start, you must NOT brake, if you do, the car will get itself out of that special setup and you’re back to nil…and, on top of that, there is no SAFE public place in the wolrd to reach 250 mph, so the only place you can do it is in Germany, on a special desgined track for this car…so, you may do all that stuff they say with Veyron, but you actually can’t…
For all that much trouble and over 2 million $ spent, I’ll rather have an Enzo(if I’m an old rich fart) or a Nismo tuned 500hp GT-R34 (if I’m young and troublesome)…
Same with this car…GTI ment something in Europe until Mk4 Golf…now, it’s suppose to be a sports car, but hhmmm.. it kinda isn’t.

Interesting data from consumer reports here. Not to support the ricer kiddies or slam german engineering but I was suprised european cars currently have more problems than asian and even american made cars!
In its April issue, Consumer Reports released the results of its annual car reliability survey. “Asian vehicles are by far the most reliable,� the editors say. Japanese and Korean vehicles had, on average 12 problems per 100 vehicles. U.S. makers “have been edging closer to the Asians in reliability,� the magazines reports, with an average of 18 problems per 100 vehicles. European manufacturers are still “the most unreliable overall,� with 21 problems per 100 vehicles.
I’m a ‘91 Nissan 300ZX TT owner myself (0% rice, no stickers, etc) and at 15 years old it still hauls arse in style and draws plenty of admiring looks.

Here’s an idea, get a real job (delivering chinesse food doesn’t count) quit spending your money on stupid after market parts that make your car look retarded (trust me if it looked that good it would have come from the factory that way!), and get a life that includes more than your dumb looking pile of junk! While you’re at it, move out of your parents basement, and set the sensitivity on your alarm down a few notches because it really bothers hard working people when it gets triggered in the middle of the night, no one wants your crappy car anyway!
PS I know you are mad and my nice new convertible is a piece of garbage compared to your 1000hp Honda Civic with it’s “awesome” stereo, do you know that prolonged exposure to loud music can make you stupid? Oh sorry, it already happened you’ll just have to live with it! Instead of responding just go back to the Asian porn you were looking at prior to reading this, you and your silly old cars suck!

The only people who don’t appreciate these commercials are the people who drive the hunks of **** they demolish! It’s truly amusing to watch them throw tantrums. I actually drive an unmodified honda, and it still beats out those tricked out cars owned by those fools that saw the fast and the furious one too many times. (Note: Not only did that movie look pathetic, the latest installment in this series looked even worse! I had to endure it when I saw V for Vendetta, and when that preview was on, I couldn’t help but laugh even harder than I usually do thanks to these commercials.)
They are doing, in those commercials, something I’ve wanted to do for YEARS!!!
I don’t drive a VW, but I’ll probably get that as my next car now.
Cross – It’s not even 120 kph in the US! It’s 104 kph (65 mph). I’m sure that will give you a laugh.

Awesome commercials, just like most VW advertisements.

Maybe VW of North America has them…

Germans don’t like it because: 1) They don’t have a sense of humor, 2) It’s making fun of their accent, and 3) It’s making fun of the American perception of Germans.

In meiner Arbeit als Lehrer gab es durchaus Frauen, die ich reizend fand, ich glaubte aber, mich wolle keine! Da ich auch eine sehr feuchte Aussprache hatte und nicht so lässig angezogen war und meistens nach Scheiß roch, gab es wenige, die sich für mich interessierten!
Irgendwann dachte ich mir, jetzt möchte ich auch mal mein erstes Mal haben! Also ging ich mit ein paar Freunden in den nahegelegenen Puff. Es war eine schöne Stimmung und die Girls liebten mich (dachte ich), als eine mit mir aufs Zimmer ging und mir die Hose ausgezogen hatte, sagte ich ihr gleich, dass dies mein erstes Mal seien würde. Sie glaubte mir aber nicht und legte sofort los! Ich spritzte vier Mal ab. Es war nicht so schön, aber ich hatte es hinter mir! Die Frau die mich entjungferte, hatte den Namen Gerlinde! Danke!

VW is thee most popular car in the world. For many reasons.
I have owned and worked on VWs for 22 years and they are a gift to this planet and its people. American cars suck beyond description and most of their owners are just as bad.
The TDI that I drive will do over 110 MPH and gets about 38 MPG ,its a station wagon and Im not afraid or embarrased to drive a 100 with my kids in the car. It kicks ass.
TDI racing is the future.
Ever heard of DAKAR?? you wouldnt survive it but VW does pretty damn good.
Hey you know those buses from the 60s and 70s ? well hey guess what ! they were so damn good that they are still being produced in South Amerika. Eat your heart jap car owner! few vehicles have that kind of legacy.most Americant cars are are in the junk yard or will soon be. Mass produced **** doesnt equal quality. do you understand that ?
Ask a mechanic from any dealer when they are off the clock what they think about various cars. the truth may set you free.

I don’t mind American hot rods if they are done with some kind of intelligent thought. I’ve seen very well done formidable looking James Dean (1940s?) style cars on Vancouver roads.I’d probably buy a new Ford T-Bird because it is such a clean design. Also C&D mag or something had an article about some guy making very cleanly finished ‘32 Ford type roadsters. Quite pricey cars but something I would consider buying. The new Mustang idea is a good idea. I think GM is putting out a new old school looking Camaro. Back to Vee Dub;anybody who can look at what Volkswagen did with their camperized Westphalia(colours,designs,textiles,workmanship,etc.)and call that van crap, is a creepy racist person.

“The World’s Most Loved Cars”
To:’NINE’,If you walk around with a sheet of paper and numbers on it(specs), who will care? A British company(TVR)was making roadsters that were similar in appearance to a Triumph Spitfire. The TVR had problems something like windows leaking or not rolling up. Concerns with the trunk opening without a tool…just a long list of goofy problems. You had to carry an assortment of odd devices in your pocket just to make it to where ever and back, but to look at the car, the construction materials, handcrafted feel, etc; THAT would make people want to own it; myself included, and I am rigid and unforgiving as hell as far as quality standards go.

Myles, I was throwing that idea around in my head;what if VW decided to produce original earlier models like the Rabbit A1 and sell them again? People would buy those cars like hotcakes! Other companies, as well…GM or Ford could re-issue exact original copies of super old style pick-up trucks.40s 50s,etc. Most of today’s pick-up trucks look like the designers are on acid.

Commercials are aimed at specific demographics. These are not aimed at the kid with the ridiculous slammed jap car. They’re aimed at the person that thinks the kids slammed jap car is ridiculous.That being said, these commercials are just plain funny! As far as engineering goes I have owned Jap made cars, U.S. made and one VW. The VW is one of the finest and I fully expect to get 300,000 plus miles out of my tdi jetta.

Those VW ads are original, very entertaining, too short, and are the best anti-’crapmobile’ (’S-mobile’)ads that I’ve ever seen. In the second ad, the car was “definitely sucking”.
Mr. Stormare is already quite an actor.
But just who is his female assistant? Is she an actress, from central Europe?
Wo stammt DIE denn her?

Eastern bloc women are quite amazingly good.
The thicker the accent, the better. Even if they speak only rudimentary English; that is also an attribute as far as I am concerned…German, Russian, Hungarian, Romanian…almost too good to be true if you know Eastern bloc ladies and I do.

Ahh yes, it reminds me of the “da da da” (by trio) or the “windshield wiper music beat” jetta commerical…I am also enjoying the FAST GTi commerical with the “hun I can’t hear the sound of the engine, with all that yakkin’, sometimes, my fast doesn’t get along with my girlfriend”
these are classics

I wrecked my 97 VW passat (wolfsburg edtion) in december 4 days b4 christmas. It was my dream car i always wanted a VW but really a passat but now that i wrecked it i cant pay it off to sell it, so im gonna part it out. it literally almost brings tears to my eyes that was my dream car but what happens happens. so the only thing that is wrong is that the frame is bent and the ac was broke in the accident. Engine is VR6 GLX and is still great, windows, doors, lights sunroof, etc….. so if you are at all interested call 717-586-3842 or 717-226-0491 to get the info.

all u clowns talkin about ur pimped rides with big wings which actually slow the car down with wind resistance and ur big coffee can aluminum mufflers being fed by pee shooter exhaust pipes and to get 200 hp out of the engine you have to dump 3 grand into it and then u dress as stupid lookin as ur car. get some class and get an american muscle car which came stock with 300 to 500 hp from the factory. u guys just cant imagine how rediculous u look in ur (pimped) out rides, just sayin pimped out sounds stupid. get some class buy american muscle oh ya the ads are great. P.S. my 73 trans am has never been beat by a any winged wonder

‘NO FAT MARINES’
TO DUDE;A woman’s car? If a woman is the registered owner, si. I take you associate refinement with being a girl? What about martial arts? Martial arts are all about finesse. Chuck Norris uses martial arts.
What about a male fox? What about tigers? What about a lion? A lion is a member of the cat family as well as being ‘king of the beasts’. So a feline has the most power. A male feline. That is what a VR6 engine is. A purring male cat. A tiger will carefully shred your face and clean itself up with great care after eating your brain. Nick Nolte rocked, no mistake about it, but Eddie Murphy was in the process of finessing Nick’s teeth out of his mouth in the movie 48 HOURS. I’m like that, too…I’ll finesse your teeth out of your mouth.

Abner’s point is somewhat valid…how wretched and sad, I have to say, how poor some people are…in dire need of a set of wheels…MTV has usually been a quite nifty and happening magnetic place, especially with the old school VJs (Blackwood, Kennedy, etc). What if you modified your format. Be insane and replace the pimp show with THIS ‘unpimp’ format. Your “pimped” cars” will have a very limited life span, right?! I mean how long will they drive those cars? Why not get those pimp show guys to find a needy person or group and give them a brand new VW Rabbit or Polo. THAT car will last twenty years minimum. Spike Lee would probably approve and your credibility would go through the roof.

Notice all the VW hate posts are illiterate?
The standard hatepost,
“VW izz fur loozzers, yu guys suk dik nr gay!”
Think maybe they are a little to hung up on “gay”?
No, that can’t be it, at least most gay people can spell.

Dana, for some reason a lot of people think one must be a filthy unsophisticated boer
, or whatever to be, uh, what? Tough? Consider the Mountain Lion/Cougar…this majestic animal does not even roar(silence adding to the mystery). It purrs(like all VW owners will recognize as soon as they turn the key). The Cougar sometimes makes a scream-type noise similar to that of a woman(like hot rubber on asphalt). The Cougar will attack and kill a prey as much as 8 times larger than itself. Exploding with hunter’s instinct and incredible brute strength combined with grace of movement. All members of the cat family maintain a meticulously groomed luxurious coat. In fact, the Mountain Lion will jump over a swamp(as far as 14 feet leaps) instead of slogging through it. Does that make these animals gay?

It’s almost like the only people bashing VW are the surly and churlish. BOORISH. Crass, crude, gross, ill-bred, philistine
, rude, tasteless, uncivilized, uncouth, uncultivated, unpolished, unrefined(I’ve covered this WAY too much), vulgar, and discourteous.

Terry, you know the phrase “regardless of price”? One of the Prince Charles’ sons ‘cherry picked’ (chose based strictly on pleasure/enjoyment regardless of price) a Volkswagen Golf as his own personal car for himself to drive. (Some people would rather play than be a coach. Some people would rather drive than be a chauffer). Excellent choice, I have to say; live a little.
Social classification/strata doesn’t neccesarily mean you are a good human being or a fun individual. A haughty person is just a stiff.

Terry, have you ever heard or read “It’s Not A Car. It’s A Volkswagen”? VW is an ‘engineer’s car’. It trancends class boundaries. I’ve owned a brand new BMW and a VW both at the same time, and I had trouble deciding which one to drive each day.

Terry, you’re a stiff, my friend. That’s bad. You want to try to avoid that. Check the following quote, please?
“I’m very lucky with the car I’ve got at the moment. It’s fast enough and very comfortable”.
quote from Prince William of Wales (talking about his second hand Volkswagen Golf).

well the only good thing about the VW commercials is that the chick is funny and hot. And smashing things is always FUN…Other than that… this commercial is only funny for the people that enjoy making fun of that social class that PIMPS their ride…It wouldnt really change the mind of the people that pimp their ride to not do that and buy a vw straight out of the factory..(thats to conservative and dull (german))..And thats their target market – (scion, honda, toyota etc….) – for this type of car….Its like they are preaching to the choir….HEY WHITE UPPER MIDDLE CLASS ..BUY A VW…and you can indulge yourself in owning a PIMP ride without the negative (bigotted) stigmas of pimped rides…
If a car negates the potential for personal expression and individuality then most likely the demographic that yearns for that expression will look elsewhere when buying a car…..Like a scion ….where they can pimp their ride straight out of the factory….They got that one right..they are huge!!! ..The VW ads are funny but they still miss their mark!!!…seriously who would want to hang out with that lispy engineer dude….I would much rather roll down the street with snoop dog in a pimped ride than those stiff necks… You see germans dont have anything to offer interms of a HOT POP STYLE so they have to parody an aspect of americana that isnt going anywhere….
Did you see the next scene is when a car full of the demolished car dudes friends- taggers and gangbangers roll up jump out of the car and kick their asses and kidnap the woman…
