Maybe it's because I pretty much grew up in an old Volkswagen Kombi. Who knows? Whatever the reason, I have a bit of a jones for VW advertisements. Wherever you go in the world, you're pretty much guaranteed that you'll pick up a magazine with a sharp, smart VW ad.

Like this one from China, where the copy promises: "It will go fast."



Or this one from Norway, advertising the Lane Assist technology.



Or this one from Australia, promoting one of VW's sporting sponsorships.



And this one from South Africa, crowing about VW's Dakar Rally win.



Then there's this one from Germany, calling the Cross Polo "an offroad car, not necessarily for offroad people".




And this one from France, which is as much about VW owners as it is about VWs.
