Nice idea but a bit of a weird message. It directly shows me I can throw away my Polo. It's being associated with garbage.

First impression i have, vw is rubbish, dangerous try as said above.

Critics are easy.

But you do throw away your car if it was crashed in an accident. The idea works perfectly. I don't think it damages the brand. People do have a sense of humor.

I agree, some ppl here sounds like clients. First impression is that this is a joke. A car bin? Come on... 1. you won't think of ANY ad that the company is saying anything bad about their products - it is an old knowledge it got under the skin by now, it influences rapidly your perception, no chance you will have contradicting thoughts (unless you are trying to be picky...); 2. if you think VW cars are good, it won't change that old, solid picture, you may just add - wow these guys are funny & seems to care about the environment; if you think VW is rubbish... well, you are not targeted anyway, dude.

Every car turns into garbage some day and the polo is recyclable then. In this case it´s "the better way of garbage": recyclable garbage.

It constantly amazes me how blindly literal some "creative" people are here.
Is it their way of saying "I don't understand it... and I don't know how to improve it."
Nice one, VW.

OK, I am not trying to "sound like a client", but the first thing I think is: This car won't last long.
If I gonna buy a car, I hope it can company me for at least 25 years...
