Have to agree with Argo on this. The music isn't that compelling. I guess,
if anyone remembers the last thread revolving around VW, you'll know how I
feel about such pursuits by such companies. But this time it's not even
about the fact that VW commercials and the image they peddle are
repugnant--the music just ain't that deep. I end up hitting the mute button
whenever this spot comes on. Well, at least they made their own music for
this commercial. That's a step in the right direction.
I'm waiting for the commercial were they really tell it like it is:
"Volkswagen. Yuppies needed."
