new VW Passat vs SL commercial...

the SL gets hated on by VW.. ha..

funny commercial and all too true in reality at times.. i think we are all guilty of doing this once in awhile..

although quite hypocrital of vw.. notice how they show a ferarri.. but not a MUCH more flashy lamborghini that comes in colors such as lime green and bright orange as a factory paint color... hmm wonder why.. <g>

(have to look close.. it's the black one with the black 20s)

Yes, what's even funnier is how much the SL in that commercial looks like mine...

I think they like us...

There was some big Daimlerchrysler poking going on there. A (220) S-class, an SL, a CLK cabrio, a CLS, a G-class, and a 300C. The Ferrari was the odd man out of that group. Well at least VW recognises that Mercedes makes the most desirable cars out there!
