I feel sorry for Lewis, my wife loves the ads. She loves them so much she has been searching all over the damned place trying to buy herself a Fast to put in her Mazda. "My FAST hates it when they block the fast lane", she says. Both the FAST adds and the Unpimp your ride ads kick butt. I feel sorry for Lewis, my wife loves the ads.

And its lookin' like the latter. Why is it that the only interest women have in cars is to get their father or significant other to buy one for them.

Amercia since they broght in the Golf R32.. They now need an "Unfatten" campaign on the new Passat and Jetta which lost something with the new models - they're too big and cushy and remind me of Japanese transportation appliances w/ a bit of "Germanization".. :( Those “Unpimp” ads are the best thing that VW has done in N.

The commercials are funny and to the point. They don't encourage wreckless driving or female-hating - claiming that is just ridiculous. Just exhibits how far the "political correctness" have been pushed. Ok – Seth Stevenson is taking this thing out of context. The commercials are funny and to the point.

I think the message is more about the new GTI being a fast car that begs to be driven. I also think the commercials are just supposed to be funny in general. Another thing that caught my eye was the the "fast" is actually a rabbit. I think this was an attempt by VW to show a little rememberance to the roots of the GTI.

Merely telling your girlfriend to shut it, as in the VW commercial is exceedingly kind.
