Dave Hall has frequently made the point that we don't find our type 3s, they find us. Last night I saw, for the first time, a Saturn commercial showing cars looking for owners. It was exactly Dave's concept. Nicely done, showing cars without drivers, driving around looking over prospective owners until they found one that they liked. Nice commercial. For decades I've wondered why it is that the VW commercials we see here are head and shoulders above the crowd. They tend to be interesting and completely different from the run-of-the-mill car commercials that we usually see on TV. >From Dustin Hoffman in the early type 3 commercial to the VW Stomp commercial of a few years ago to what I call the "pass on the smile" commercial currently running, I give continuing credit to VW for daring to be different as well as interesting. This new Saturn commercial is the only other commercial that I've seen that comes close. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
