Remember those catchy VW GTI “Un-pimp My Ride” commercials? Well, we stumbled across this “new to us” video of that hot German maid named Helga taking us through a slalom course with "Helga dummies" instead of cones. Better watch your “schlalom” cause that S&M vixen seems ready to spank your azzz if you knock over one of her statues or drop below 120 Mph. Woof-woof!

Vid of the Day: Daddy take his girl for a ride...

This must be one of the funniest commercials I've ever seen! The add starts out with your typical dad who's taking out his young daughter and her school friends. When he reaches the drop-off point, the girls leave the car, but he forgets to give his daughter some money. Unfortunately for him though, a following police car has a totally different opinion on what went on...

2007 Jeep Wrangler 2d & 4d – "Bug" TV Adds

Here at Carscoop we love witty car commercials and I think Jeep has began the add race add with a head start judging from its first 30 sec TV spot for the 2007 Jeep Wrangler 2d & 4d Unlimited, called Lizard. The add campaign consists of five, "bug" themed, TV spots which will air officially on September 18th. via: Motorpasion

• TV Spot Descriptions
• Lizard opens on a lizard running across the desert floor. It sees the old Jeep Wrangler, faces off against it, then expands himself and hisses to try and scare away the Wrangler. The Wrangler, unfazed, suddenly expands and changes into the all-new Jeep Wrangler and scares off the lizard.
• In Grooming -two gorillas encounter a bug they believe to be food only to find out it's really the new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
• In Bird, a hungry bird zeros in on a potential bug snack and painfully discovers the Unlimited.
• In Rock Crawler, what appears to be a bug-like object makes its way through an adventurous tunnel only to surface as the new four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited alongside the all-new Jeep Wrangler two-door.
• Bigger Deffer, which pays homage to Wrangler's place in the beginning stages of Hip Hop music, opens with the words "we ran the streets... and became legendary" set to Hip Hop music and fast paced computer generated images in an urban setting..

BMW Australia creates a TV Commercial for the 3 Series

BMW Australia brings five generations of the iconic 3 Series sports sedan to life on the screen

The advertisement traces the history of the iconic 3 Series from its genesis as the BMW 2002 in 1968 to the latest E90 3 Series Sedan, with all cars filmed on a race track, and seamlessly morphing from one generation to the next.

In creating the advertisement, BMW and its creative partner, Melbourne based Badjar Group, mixed the latest in computer generated imagery with awesome on track driving, and a unique 360-degree action pan shot of the current and previous generation 3 Series cars.

“We created this television spot to show how the BMW 3 Series has always been fun to drive, is fun to drive today and will always be fun to drive. That’s what you’d expect from the cornerstone of the BMW brand,” says Tom Noble, General Manager, Marketing at BMW Group Australia.

Jack Room, executive creative director of BADJAR Group created a 45-second television spot that embodied the spirit of the BMW 3 Series. Armed with a vital knowledge base of the 3 Series history, the BADJAR creative team focused on the payoff line: “In 1968 BMW invented the sports sedan and never stopped re-inventing it”.

In the TVC, the cars morph through their generations to the climax, with the evocative music of the Body Rocker’s song “I Like The Way You Move” playing strongly. With the help of CGI – computer generated imaging – the BADJAR team spent two days on site at the Eastern Creek race track in Sydney filming and then worked their magic in the editing suite.

BADJAR had not done anything like the 3 Series creative for BMW previously. “We’ve done plenty of television commercials where we have used computer generated imaging, but not to this extent. The unique thing about this particular piece is that we wanted to have an archival feel to it to start with and then, as the whole thing progressed, end up with a much more contemporary feel, when the E46 3 Series morphed into the E90”, says Jack.

To enable that seamless transition, a special rig was built for the money shot, which involved mounting a camera for a 360-degree pan around both an E46 and E90 as one morphs into the other. After the shoot and with the genius of computers in the editing suite, the creatives took some footage of the spectacular mountains around Queenstown in New Zealand to slip into the background.

Volkswagen Golf GTI “Speedy Gonzales” Commercials

Arriba!

Volkswagen is calling for the help of Speedy Gonzales in attracting Hispanic customers for its new Golf GTI V commercials

Volkswagen rolled out three new GTI commercials this week starring the Looney Tunes superhero mouse, Speedy Gonzalez. The commercials are part of an ongoing effort by the German automaker to win the growing Hispanic market in North

CreativeOndemanD, Volkswagen's Hispanic agency has created the commercials for the new Golf GTI which feature Warner Brothers' Speedy Gonzales.

The spots are airing on Univision, Telemundo, Telefutura, Azteca America, Galavision, Mun2, Fox Sports en Espanol, American Latino, SiTV, ESPN Deportes, CNN en Espanol, GolTV, and MTV en Espanol. The campaign also includes outdoor in Miami, Los Angeles and New York.

The three commercials use vintage Warner Bros. footage and will show Speedy in a series of adventures: he taunts cats and helps his friends get cheese. True to his cartoon background, he even gets run over by a GTI.

“We knew the Hispanic consumer didn’t have a history, with the car”, said Daniel Marrero, partner and creative director for CreativeOndemanD, Coral Gables, Fla

“We had the challenge having to communicate that this was a smart, agile, fast car in the quickest way possible. Speedy Gonzales was a good fit for the campaign because, in part, he’s kind of an icon for Hispanics,” Marrero said. “He’s always outwitting his enemies”.

Volkswagen to Remove “abusive” billboards

Volkswagen said it will remove billboards in New York, Los Angeles and Miami after receiving complaints that a word used in an advertisement was offensive to Hispanics. The ad for the new GTI 2006 had a photo of the sports car accompanied by the words "Turbo-Cojones." Cojones, which means… testicles in Spanish, has become a casually used term for boldness or guts in English but has never lost its more vulgar connotations in its native language.

Volkswagen Golf GTI Commercials “Unpimp my ride”

Hilarious!

Volkswagen breaks a North American campaign for the new Golf GTI that takes a poke at MTV's Pimp My Ride

Featuring a German vixen who seems to have walked straight out of the 70’s, and a German engineer filling Xzibit's Pimp my Ride position, Volkswagen’s Golf GTI new series of commercials take a poke at MTV's successful “Pimp My Ride” show.

The German duo shoot a car out of a catapult in one spot, crush a car with a crate containing the new GTI in another. In the third commercial, they crush a car with a wrecking ball. At the end of these ads, Stormare spouts such gems as "Representing Deutschland", and "German engineering in da haus", and the ads end with the voice-over "Pre-tuned by German engineers".

"There are people that think the culture has gone too far and there’s a bit of a backlash from the Hollywood version. In some way they ruined what was a very organic and very cool thing," said Alex Bogusky, chief creative officer at Miami-based Crispin Porter + Bogusky, a unit of MDC Partners. Targeting males 18 to 49, the campaign includes Internet, outdoor and print iterations, rolling out nationally over the next couple of months.

"Our goal is to make VW famous and relevant again," said Kerri Martin, director of marketing development at VW. "If the Beetle is the heart of the brand, then the GTI is the soul of the brand. It hits on all four things that really have made Volkswagen famous over the years: affordable, German engineering that is fun to drive and a distinctly European style."
