VW/Audi ads

[Mark Trank]

If I'm not mistaken, the "fine print" on that Audi ad said that the car was
a European model............Are they saying the US version can't surf?

        My all time favourite car commercial is the "VW owners love their
cars" series.  A guy pulls up at the supermarket, gets out of his silver
Jetta, and walks away.  A shopping kart slowly rolls into the picture on a
collision course with the car.  You hear the footsteps accelerating to a run
and the guy tackles the shopping kart out of the picture.  Then the catch
phrase "VW owners love their cars" and a voice off in the distance "I'm
okay"
