    I totally would buy a Fish-Dog. Think of the versatility. You could go scuba diving with your dog! And since it appears to be a land-sea hybrid, since it can breathe both air and has gills, it can pretty much go anywhere.


    Sounds like the pet for me. Ill take one, and perhaps a SpaceFox too, while your at it.

    @mzs: I tried out a few different pronunciations in the local VW showroom when we went to get our Beetle back for the second time and had a great time of it. "TIG-wawn"? "tig-WAN"? I eventually gave up and said to the sales rep "gee, you guys have trouble naming your SUVs, huh?"


    No response.

    So when is VW going to bring the SpaceFox to America? They have the perfect commercial for it to compete against the uber-ugly Honda Element and the surf culture it was originally intended.


    Now they need a similar creature to sell it to lesbians in Vermont to compete against the Subaru Forrester.

    If you notice at 56 seconds into the ad, the dog wasn't a morphed fish/dog creature, but an actual Jack Russell Terrier. Someone seemed to have goofed when editing.


    More to the point, as a Dog owner, I really liked this ad.

    I dig it...I'd take that over a Tiguan or probably even a Jetta wagon. AWD diesel (or 2.0t) with 6MT.

    @The Name's Ash78, Housewares:

    here in Brazil by law we can't have small cars diesel powered.

    It has to be a ultilitary pickup (like f series, ranger , navarro/frontier, l 2000) or bigger to be powered by diesel.


    i know it sucks, specially nowadays, so many "small blocks" on diesel and all very efficient.

    @laio: Here in the US, we don't have much selection for cars (VW and Mercedes only). But similar to what you said, most of the diesels are in larger trucks and SUVs. It's not by law here...but the laws often make it difficult for European diesel models to be sold in our market.

    @laio: You can run diesels on plant matter, though, so why the law? My gut reaction was "lol more ethanol lol" but that doesn't really apply.

    What an olfactory treat of a pet. You get to choose between "wet dog" and "dead fish".
