Here are more ads from Volkswagen for your viewing pleasure. These series of “Safe Happens” (a play on the phrase Shit Happens) advertisement videos are from Volkswagen’s campaign for the Volkswagen Jetta in the US, leveraging on it’s excellent front and side crash test results. The videos show a bunch of friends in a Volkswagen Jetta cruising along, and they meet an accident and walk out unscathed. Videos are after the jump!

Volkswagen’s Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) is the world’s first dual-clutch automated manual gearbox in a production car. This provides the driver the ease-of-drive of a car equipped with an automatic transmission, but the efficiency and flexibility of a manual transmission.

The Volkswagen Polo GTI was shown at the end of October last year at the Tokyo International Motor Show. I’ve posted about it before, but I thought it would be nice if I’d do another feature on it right after my post on the Volkswagen Polo Bluemotion. Kind of like two opposite ends of the Polo model range you know, one of them offers mega mileage and the other one offers you mega horsepower

What is a recession-proof car? Naza’s own definition is a car cheap enough to buy, finance, and maintain. Even through the bad times of recession. I suppose if Malaysia did not have ridiculous levels of imported car taxation, a car like the Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion could qualify as a recession-proof car.

This is crazy. Monster Garage takes a 1951 Volkswagen Beetle Ragtop and dumps in a crazy engine into it, lowers it and preps it for drag racing. The engine is a 2276cc block with 82mm wedgemated DPR crank, 94mm Cima pistons/cylinders, 5.5-inch CB rods, 8.5:1 compression ratio, Engle FK-87 camshaft, Street Eliminators 44×38 heads (ported and polished by Shawn Moore), 1.4:1 Scat rocker arms, 1-3/4-inch header by Shawn Moore, Kennedy 1700 lbs. pressure plate, and a Black Magic clutch disk. Pretty soon a 850cfm Demon carburettor and a Garrett GT35R turbo will be added on to this extreme package. Want to see how it goes? Video after the jump.

The character Gene Kelly from Singing in the Rain is recreated in this advertisement for the Volkswagen Golf. The background song is Frank Sinatra’s Singing in the rain. The video has some funky robot dance moves to it. Kinda like Kollaboration. The remake of the original scene reflects on the Volkswagen Golf being advertised, “the original updated”. I like the concept.

Video is after the jump.

Volskwagen AG is in talks with Cycle and Carriage Bintang Bhd for a dealership agreement. Cycle and Carriage Bintang currently distributes Mazda, Peugeot and Mercedes Benz marques in Malaysia.

Well, looks like there we have it. Cycle and Carriage for the distributorship and AutoStadt Asia as the sole importer. Not sure about Quasar Carriage. Anyone want a Volkswagen Golf TDI?

A 16 minute 17 seconds video of Volkswagen’s Fast campaign for the new Mk5 Volkswagen Golf GTI. Volkswagen says there is a “Fast” in all of us, which explains the adrenaline rush and excitement we get when we’re in rapid acceleration and speed. The GTI is positioned as a fast car for the fast in you, that requires no more modifications or pimping.
