I love these commericals. Though it sucks they beat up on a DSM, at least it's a marketing strategy that not only does not pander to the "tooner" crowd, but openly mocks them. Plus it is hilarious with Peter Stormare.

In my book, that's a great thing.

It's running again shitheads.

They are funny, but they destroyed a DSM. Therefore, I will continue to hate VW.

At that point I wouldn't claim that car as a DSM.. that was a pink flaming pile of shit. It deserved to be destroyed.

The poor car probably was stock, until they painted it flamer pink to add it to the commercial. VW destoyed the car...twice.

Let's hope they took a significantly totaled car, did enough work to it to make it look "presentable" and then used it. At least that's my wishful thinking.

Have to admit, if somebody posted up a dsm looking like that, we'd find worse ways of destroying it AND it's driver.

Funny commericals.

Unless Jayzun, Mikey, and Tre are automakers, no I dont think there will be any retaliation. No car company has ever created cars that shitty.

Hopefully the net effect of this commercial will be that less people will ruin perfectly good cars by ricing them out. If it costs 1 DSM to save 500 more then it was worth it.

yeah, i like them a lot. the base model seats are ugly as hell though. Go to the website and check it out. Take it for a "joyride" on the website, and theres some videos u can watch with that chick and that dude from the commercial. pretty sweet imo.

The website is cool. I was playing with it and when I chose auto transmission it has shorter 0-60 time 7.1manual vs 6.8 auto. It's probably their two raw transmission... forgot what it's called. I should have just read the specs it's called DSG. Also I got my little sucker from 22g to 34.5g sounds like a TL is in order or a mustang GT

BTW the video is cool the chick is hot.
