Hmm, I'll have to look out for that one..

i've only seen the honda one

 

so VW is trying to get into that game now? Quite a departure from their usual marketing. Sounds funny though!

 

Sounds stupid...especially when they seem to be going after a very stereotypical market segment that have probably grown out into Audis and other VW products.

Seems like the whole Civic Nation commercials in Canada...seeing a team of tuned Civics cruising around city streets (albeit in the OLD version of the Civic).

 

And I always wondered why VW drivers seem to think there cars are better than every ones. VW arent really that great there a ****ty version of a German car, If I was gunna waiste my money on a german car a VW wouldnt be one of them.

Id rather say I have a Mercedes or a BMW, If i wanted to flaunt something and actually impress people.

Saying I have a VW doesnt get the wow, and saying you have a VW and having the attitude you think its "wow" is even stupider. VW kinda sucks, plus christ if they could actually make a car without an electrical issue id be amazed.

cannot wait for the day when the government starts stepping in on power levels/performance/ratios of cars released and commercials promoting them...limiting them and/or censoring.

Soon enough...because we all know street-racing is not on the decline...but neither are commercials and car companies promoting it

I've not seen this particular commercial, but I have seen the one with a guy in his white GTI and his "fast" on the front passenger's seat. His girlfriend wants to go to the store with him but he locks the door and closes the window to block her access. He didn't wan't the extra weight of a passenger. He called her fat. Funny.

 

The "Fast" commercial are pretty good and original. But these bashing commercials sound stupid.

 

i have a serious question, wtf is a 'fast' they make no sense to me, u know u even get a lil 'fast' when you guy a GTI, i went to build one and i could customize my 'fast'...yes original but i think kinda stupid

 

You can make your own "custom" movie here depending on what color and options you pick:

Just FYI, VW is now using the ad agency that was up until a few months ago MINI's agency.

 

Bah... whatever the circustance, I'll take mine in Black Magic with a devil-tail Fast.

 

You can see some of the "fast" commercials here:

Also, btw, the little "fast" mascots are going for hundreds of $ on eBay:

There were only 600 produced and you had to buy a GTI to even have a shot at getting one.

 

yeah $300 min for a Fast. just some piece of junk you'll forget about in a year or 2

I have seen so many different claims on this. Is everyone who buys a GTI getting one or only some?

 

Bah... whatever the circustance, I'll take mine in Black Magic with a devil-tail Fast.

Give him an Option 1 and me an Option 2. kthnx.

 

about time! let the game begin!

 

The 'bashing commercials' (as some call them) are hilarious. There are 3 of them...one civic, eclipse, and focus. just keep an eye open...

Sands - I believe the first 600 went out to dealers. Additionally, everyone who buys a GTI will get one mailed to them.

 

Cool, thank you Ollie.
I haven't seen one of the bashing commercials yet, I have heard the radio spots though.

 

no i havent seen the commercials yet. the only one ive seen was the one where the windows are down and the driver tells the girlfriend to stop yakin. lol. o yeah that little mascot was in the commercial too.

The "Fast" commercials are great!
I think the little "Fast" mascot was a great marketing gimmick too.

I've only have only seen the Eclipse bashing commerical with a catapult. I thought it was one of the worst commercials I've ever seen. The Russian guy (trying to be German?) was really un-funny. I was actually watching TV with my Mom at the time and we both just kinda looked at each other and shrugged when it was over.

(Is that the guy from Prison Break, and Armageddon (Russian Cosmonaut in the Space Station))?

 

the "fast" commercials are terrific, i think they really address that a lot of "car guys" have two sides to them...something lurking inside waiting to be released.

who is VWs agency these days, its mediacom now right?

 

Yes, I really don't think those guys will go after a EVO or a STI. Just on the "cheaper" cars humm... Sounds weak and sad.

I LOVE the Fast commercials. These commercials just don't seem funny to me at all. Not because they are making fun of other cars, but that annoying German guy grates my nerves! Making a VW sign out of his fingers like he's a gangster and "unpimping" your rides. :screwy:

If HE wasn't in the commercial, it might be tollerable.

 

I find them funny... and I wouldn't say they're anti-tuner. How many comments does a "rice" thread get?

 

Well, the commercial is making fun of the tricked out cars in them, but people do the same damn thing with VWs. :lol:
