Interesting idea. Eye-catching.

I thought VW Polo positioning was Small but Tough. What's the big deal about being small? And while the creative is eye-catching, it seems gimmicky.

For urban people re parking - the slogan is right. As for the concept & execution I'm with morse

Similar execution - different idea. Lower budget. Much lower.

How is this illustrating that it is great to be small?

It's an old idea but at least it's their own old idea or at least their own old idea via Bernbach.
Personally I like this execution, they're running the same positioning but with a different (and better) creative expression in the UK.

YOOUUUUUUUUUUUU....... Nice Ideaaaaa

chuckieT's picture 598 pencils

Looking at this again, shouldn't the translation be, "It's big to be small." That makes more sense.
