Cool ad. When did we cyclists get so hateful and defensive? Chill.

The drivers look like the neutered, genderless, half female, actors that are so popular amongst many of today’s largely lost and clueless twenty-somethings. A nice example of exactly who I dont want to be.

2012 Passat is car of the year… TDI coming soon w/ 6 speed manual. That is a car for a motorcyclist, or at least, it will be for me This was funny as all get out.

Cheers!

“This market segment is for people who love to talk on mobiles and text while driving, need a GPS to find anything, has ABS because they’ll forget to brake until it’s almost too late, and basically are a danger to motorcyclists & other motorists anyhow. Hopefully they VW drives itself.”

+1 You said it!

It is a funny video of morons that don’t know anything about riding moorcycles and the video is made by morons that just don’t get what motorcycling is all about…

Too funny. I liked it. If I were to analyze VW’s marketing:

(1) Some wannabe bikers who can’t ride, have zero direction sense, wear open-face helmets – because they found them at the flea market – and basically need to hold hands because the open road is scary really SHOULD buy a VW with all the amenities and four wheels. This market segment is for people who love to talk on mobiles and text while driving, need a GPS to find anything, has ABS because they’ll forget to brake until it’s almost too late, and basically are a danger to motorcyclists & other motorists anyhow. Hopefully they VW drives itself.

(2) If they enjoy would enjoy Jetta, they’d much prefer a modern BMW bike anyhow with all the comforts and gizmos; if they really loved those old Kawi’s they’d much preferred old 1970′s musclecar.

I’ve got three street bikes (no Harley’s) and I think this ad was funny. It’s called humor. Oh, I own two VWs and am about to buy a third.

I really hope there was supposed to be sarcasm in that comment. If not, I have a bit of advice. Get over yourself.

They’re not making fun of motorcyclists. They’re making fun of weekend poser motorcyclist assholes. Those people should be in a Jetta.

ROFLMAO. I’ve been a motorcyclist for 40 years, and that is just plain funny…. and a bit true. Wrestling with maps on a bike is a hoot, and I can remember getting caught behind a cattle truck for a couple of hours, once – it took a year to get that smell outta my leathers! Nice work, V-Dub; thanks for the laugh.
