Singin' In My GTI

Do you guys get this advert outside the UK? If you don't, you should do. Ask your local congressman/tribal leader/minor royal to sort it out for you today. Bodypoppin' in the rain with Gene Kelly and the new Golf GTI. This is how all adverts should be. I almost want to trade my Mini in (well a little tiny teeny bit anyway).

Fascinating car fact #1: The Golf GTI differs from other cars by having a little red stripe around it's front grill. Some commentators say this is reminiscent of a woman's lipstick. Read into this what you will.

Apparently that was filmed just up from the road from us. Wish I'd known, I'd have tried to pull in a few favours to get backstage.

I love that ad. It's amazing how realistic they made it look, with his head and all that!

The guy who does the dancing for this advert is a bit of a net legend himself.

comment from curmudgeon:

where's the romance? flash, glamour, random athleticism -- they're selling the car by creating impact, not beauty. which is all very well, if you want that kind of effect. it's the triumph of craft over art, drama over romance, the one-night stand as an end in itself, with no lingering emotional involvement to interfere. but then how can you fall in love?

especially if you own a Mini Cooper! i mean, really!

I actually have heard someone else talking about this ad. Now I know they aren't completely insane... I've never seen it , I guess they don't show it in Tennessee :)
