[T3] Strange VW ad campaign

[Constantino Tobio <ctobio@gmail.com>]

<x-flowed>So, there's this ad campaign- don't know if it's just the regional VW 
dealers association or national- on the radio. The ad campaign has been 
playing up that this is the last year of the Mk4 Jetta, and it's 
destined to be a classic. Asinine, sure. But in a recent ad, it starts 
off something like this:

"A 1970 Fastback sold for $2000 back then. Today, in mint condition, 
that car sells for 3 times that much"

Anyway, it got my attention. While the concept of the ad campaign is 
dumb (I don't think today's Jetta could be kept drivable for 40 years), 
props to the ad agency for invoking the name of the Fastback, and other 
cars (the ad mentions the Karmann Ghia as well) in VW's history. VW has 
notoriously been reluctant to embrace its history, and well, this was 
kinda neat.
