Go Speed Racer, Go!
I love this ad that VW did in 1996 for the Fourth Generation GTI. My first VW was the Fifth Generation Passat, and when I bought a Golf it was also a Fifth Generation, but this ad is almost perfect, especially the retro-ending with Speed.
The Speed Racer movie opens today, and much like the Thunderbirds movie, I really don't care about the plot -- I just want to see the machines (in this case, the car)!
I'll take Leo out to see it tonight come hell or high water.
PS. Isn't the opening of Speed Racer the first time most of us saw the effect that they would later use in The Matrix? (The scene freezes and the camera's viewpoint rotates.)
The original Japanese opening credits!
