sorry, but prices feeling like the 90s is overall a pretty weak concept. well price advertising usually is weak, but with a quality product like VW there are dozens of better ways to get someone to try and buy. also, the nirvana ad is the strongest. second would be hammer, this one, except there's no "it's" before "hammer time". lastly, the rave is just bad.

The least they could have done is make the car appealing. It looks like an illustration out of an old Popular Mechanics magazine.

Yikes. You really wanna tie your car to a failed performer who got thrown out of his house because of debt?

Really bad choice there.

DUH. Blue dropshadows were definitely "in" in the 90's right? Oh, wait, no that was the 80's. And it was EYE shadow.

They're going for the 'so bad it's good' route.
