    Love this ad, as well as numerous other VW ones (especially the Mk V GTI ad that features a cutting-edge Gene Kelly), although apparently, in America at least, VW has dropped the ad agency responsible for this gem and hired Crispin Porter, who do the (equally brill) MINI ads.

    The new MINI campaign featuring the ‘fake MINIs’ is just genius.

    They are pointing out that this car is dangerous, light and can fly over tree.

    Honda is not marketing their hybrid yet..i think.the price is not an affordable one.instead their launching a new Honda city in about few weeks time a thai version…

    only minor cosmetic changes and interior changes.same engine and no manual unlike thailand..so all honda showrooms now only sell existing stock as i found out that honda malaysia has begun to assemble the new variant to keep some stock to deliver to showrooms nationwide.

    Cost is much higher..not wrong is around 86K for idsi and 92k for VTEC.

    HOU LAN GUAI!…
