    So, is there a Lotus Decepticon a block down, behind the apartment building, waiting to destroy innocent bystanders?

    This is cool, and now that we're on the topic of Tranformers, how come nobody ever touched the all-spark to an aircraft carrier? Wouldn't that be one of the ultimate Transformers? And nuclear-powered at that.

    JOSH

    I don't get it.



    PAUL

    What exactly don't you get?



    JOSH

    It turns from a Passat into a robot, right?



    PAUL

    Precisely.



    JOSH

    Well, what's fun about that?



    PAUL

    Well, if you had read your industry breakdown, you would see that our

    success in the action figure area has climbed from 27 percent to 45 percent in the last two years. There, that might help.



    JOSH

    Oh.



    PAUL

    Yes?



    JOSH

    I still don't get it.



    PAUL

    What?!



    MR. M

    What don't you get Josh?



    JOSH

    Well, there's a million robots that turn into something. And this is a Passat that turns into a robot. So what's so fun about playing with a Passat? That's not any fun!

    The greatest trick this robot ever pulled was convincing the world he is a Passat.

    Hey look! A transformer that maintains conservation of mass. Michael Bay clearly had nothing to do with it.

    Weird Chinese domestic market VWs...looks like a mashup between Mk2 and Mk3. They always do that.

    In reply to Some Of The Classic British VW Commercials We Missed Last Week
    I love this ad, it's incredibly relatable for me because I've seen everything in this ad first hand. I've been through that tunnel in downtown Los Angeles at three in the morning, left nothing behind me but the trailing drone of my 280ZX's exhaust echoing amongst the skyscrapers that line Flower St, the streetlights dancing across the finish of my car. It's strangely mesmerizing, and an incredibly special and but sometimes frightening drive.

    It's quiet like that at 2:30-3:00AM, obviously when they shut down the streets to film this ad. I regret to say that I haven't done it in six years.



    The thing I'm wondering is why use this to advert a car sold in Britain? Why not show it cruising London at 3am?



    Thanks for posting this Ad, Murilee.

    I really appreciate it.



    I really don't understand the poem to be honest with you-- though my girlfriend did wander in, demanding to know why I was listening to "some crazy indian", she assumed it was about "the great spirit" or something...
