Checkered Flag

  

It's finally here!  The Super Bowl ad we have all been waiting for is now available for our Checkered Flag fans viewing pleasure.

You've got to hand it to the folks over at Volkswagen.  They have found advertising magic.  I know many people who are way more excited to see the new VW ads running during the Super Bowl than the big game itself.  Stemming from last year's huge Super Bowl commercial hit (featuring a boy dressed as Darth Vader using the Force to start his parents VW Passat), this year, VW returns, or should we say, strikes back, and this time, with a four legged cutie and the 2012 VW Beetle.  Just try and get through the video below without smiling!

Earlier this week, VW released the teaser ad, "the Bark Side" -which had all of us wondering where they were going.  Along with this new full length commercial hit, "Dog Strikes Back," das automaker is also running an awesome web application with which you can invite all of your friends and family to your Super Bowl party with a customized Star Wars title crawl. 

If this is what VW has going on before the big game, I cannot wait to see what they're going to pull out on Super Sunday! 
If you're a fan of Volkswagen and haven't stopped by your favorite Virginia Beach Volkswagen store in a while, pop in and see us.  We've always got something new!  Call Checkered Flag VW at (757)490-1111 if you would like to set up a test drive. 

You've got to hand it to the folks over at Volkswagen.  They have found advertising magic with a line of Star Wars-themed ads.  Stemming from last year's huge Super Bowl commercial hit (featuring a boy dressed as Darth Vader using the Force to start his parents VW Passat), this year, VW returns with a teaser ad featuring an array of dogs barking the famous galactic theme song.  Just try and get through the video below without smiling!
