    The "Dah, dah, dah" ad didn't make the cut? Really? THe "Kleine GTI" ad and the '71 Karmann Ghia ad were brilliant, however.

    I appreciate that VW's ad money is the lion's share of the site's revenue stream, but aren't any of you in management worried about the credibility of a car site that doesn't acknowledge, at least once in a while, that the vast majority of VW's are utter pieces of overpriced crap driven by Apple Store shoppers who care more about a secret paint color you can only get on the internet than they do about driving dynamics or reliability?

    @snapoversteer: No problem, just wanted to make it clear that we don't ever get any editorial pressure to say good or bad things about companies that do or don't advertise on our site.


    That said, if VW wants to send me a suitcase packed with cash, I'm all for it!

    The British series "If only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen" had little stories about lifes vicissitudes, in which the punchline was the protagonist turning the key in their Golf.


    I'll always remember the morning after the casino guy, and the unfaithful husband woman.


    Oh, and the one where the couple are in the car for hundreds of miles, and everything is perfect except for this continula tiny squeak. Despite endless searching, they can't find the source. Eventually they pull into a tiny service station in the desert, and the gnarly old proprietor leans into the car, looks around, and puts a drop of oil on the womans pendant earrings.

    I still can't find a digital copy of the ad, but I remember it from my youth (early 90s I guess) It was a VW herder that had a farm with all of these VWs on it driving around. The ad ends with the farmer stating "You can tell by the gleam in the daytime running lights, these are happy cars!"


    It's a line that has stuck with me ever since.

    Take all that makeup off and ignore the jazz hands and its still a front wheel drive Civic.

    Why spend money dressing up a hot dog when you can just buy a plain steak? Terrible analogy, I know.

    Why does it have to be the fugly little hatch body, though? Wouldn't that be a cool set of modifications to the Civic sedan body, along with welding the rear doors shut?
