Has anyone seen the new VW advert on TV?
Welcome coverage makes a change. Clearly, VW are trying to evoke in peoples' memories a time when, arguably, they made better cars than they do nowadays - might help them overcome their current woes?
Not sure that the young lad driving it back in the day as his first car could have afforded the insurance!?!?

I don't know, insurance wasn't quite such a rip-off for young people in the '80s. The ambulance chasers hadn't arrived.hiltow wrote: Not sure that the young lad driving it back into the day could have afforded the insurance!?!?

Re: New Television Advert
Cool commercial! Thanks for posting.
We did that same middle of the night run to hospital in my Mk2 Golf GT. My wife reminds me I may have been somewhat concerned about the seats in the VW at the time...
As much as I like the Corrado, I'm really glad to see they picked a Mk2 Scirocco instead!
