    Tsk, tsk. You'd think VW would know the difference between Surrealism and Absurdism! They need to have the Nihilists in the ad from the Big Lebowski.

    Bring the Polo TDI to the use. Oh please. And the Dali-esque advertising. Get the funky cool back into VW.


    Check out one of the latest "Top Gear" episodes. They averaged 80 mpg driving it!

    Imagine what they'd have come up with for "Absurdly Low Reliability" or "Absurd taillight burnination"

    @FightingChance: That's one I've never noticed. I will watch for it.


    The one I noticed is the new Chevy Silverados. They ALWAYS have one of their running lights burned out. I think they burn out the moment they drive off the lot.


    Ironically, one just pulled up outside my office, with one burned out DRL.

    I saw the pump-cloud before the ants.


    Anyway, I'll be impressed with this car when you can take it off and hang it over a tree branch.

    Meanwhile, the internal culture is probably more personified by the works of Goya:


    Fig1: Piech Handling Phaeton Dissenter

    Fig2: Ad Agency Out of Ideas

    @The Name's Ash78, Housewares: Hah, I used to have Chronos Devouring His Children over my couch until one of my college-era girlfriends refused to make out underneath it. Priorities.

    @Matt Hardigree: Yeah, that was one of those works that I couldn't be a fan of anymore...once I "grew up" (it creeped everyone out)


    Goya has his own wing in the Prado in Madrid. All of it right there, together.
