Not bloody ace:

Is this the ad you mean?

Pretty impressive ad - VW are really trying to widen the appeal of the Beetle outside of its core female market.

The ad, in parts and from a style perspective, reminded me of the Adidas Originals one.

personally, i think its crap.

the darth vader vw one is much much better

I like it ! Nice car too. Different enough to be interesting. I am growing to hate bland boxes. This is'nt in that category.

Good enough advert I guess, intrigues you into looking into what the car actually looks like as they don't show you anything useful...

I suspect the re design will push it away from being seen as a more feminine car than the first new beetle.

A more masculine version already exists - it's called the fking Golf.

Is that a new model golf then? I would have thought they would have gone for a more subtle name that wouldn't raise eyebrows so much.

That one was for before the new model was unveiled, just a teaser.
