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.

Think for yourself. Question authority does not always mean disagree with authority.

If life were perfect, I'd be Calvin and you'd be Hobbes.

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

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

THATS FUCKING AWESOME!

Omg and they even used a Trebuchet to kill the Eclipse! Woooooot!

Shut up Dan.

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.

98' Eclipse GS- Hahn Stage 2- SOLD
02' Honda S2000- SOLD
04' Acura TL- Current Whip

I just wanna know why they arent catapulting civics instead?

More than likely it was a 2GNT and that being the case its not a huge loss. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it anyway.

I know spark plugs are not a mod but the car runs so smooth now.

There's a another comercial out there that I saw once. I can't remember what it was advertising but it featured a couple on a date and all off a sudden the cars CEL came on and the car died. I litteral screamed at the the TV "I know that cluster!" and sure enough the camera panned out and it was a 2G. I LMAO.

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.
