      That is a very funny commercial. However, I'm a Scion owner and there a lot of people like me who really enjoy modding their car. It's what makes a car your own and different then every other vehicle on the road. I think that marketing strategy is going to backfire. What fun is it to buy car that you can't mod?

            It took me a while to figure out what they're talking about and I'm still not sure. (I'm also hurting my fingers trying to make the VW sign). Are they saying that their car is already tuned and doesn't need additional tuning by the owner? Why then do they focus on the outer body (paint, spoilers, etc) of the victim's car? Oh, schapp! :laugh: Barry Etter

                Why does anyone focus on that stuff? How many ridiculous cars are out there now, loaded down with decals, spoilers, intentionally-broken mufflers... The ad is a shot back at those Scion ads that are full of image and mostly just imply that the vehicle actually runs.

                Now taking suggestions for the next release of CPhog...

                  I think what they are saying is that you just need to get the VW (Mark V (GTI is the US version) and the car is fast. You don't need these ugly pink spoilers and ground effects to get maximum coolness. Regards, Brigg Thorp Senior Software Engineer Timex Corporation -- modified at 15:12 Monday 20th March, 2006

                        Good for you! But i'm sure you know, there are a lot of people with just as much enthusiasm and a whole lot less talent. ;)
