And for some more trivia, the guy doing some of the dancing behind the Gene Kelly mask, is David Elsewhere...

It's wrong, a classic film butchered for another over-priced VW offering.

Nothing wrong with 'truely'. It's just the archaic spelling And surely that's spelling, not grammar

To me this is yet another example of VW missing the point in a spectacular way. First we had a bunch of German engineers getting fat and middle aged, just like the Golf. Now they're saying the new GTI is a badly butchered parody of the original - a modern day Hollywood 're-imagining' of one of the greats, directed by McG for the MTV generation.

No, it's more than that: it's yet another example of the cultural bankruptcy of our society - why create when you can copy?

Theres two, I didnt like Kelly being cut up for a poxy car ad either. The cultural bankruptcy comment was spot on. Those who dont care one way or the other prove the point very well.
