Dear Prudence
she's out to play

People seem to like this ad and I think it's pretty good too. I know what they're going on about, blokes can get very overexcited when they get in to their cars. Perfectly mild mannered chaps suddenly turn into testosterone fuelled loonies shrieking abuse at innocent little old ladies who are just trying to find first gear in their Nissan Pringle. It can be quite alarming, in fact I've broken up with at least one boyfriend because of his Jekyll and Hyde behaviour behind the wheel.
This has not been the sort of territory that VW have been in over the years, they've always tried to put themselves forward as the thinking man's car. Sensible not showy, and very understated has been the VW approach, and it seems to have worked well for them.
In this ad they're taking a bit of a sly poke at the effect that cars can have on blokes which is pretty much what you'd expect from clever chaps like VW. The little dog does look incredibly wet when he's not in the car so they're also telling us in a round-about sort of way, that driving a VW Polo can make you feel like a real man. Now that's a new way of looking at VW and pleasantly unexpected.
I have to say that I have always thought that VWs were a bit on the drab side, but if they think they can persuade chaps that driving in one will make your balls bigger then good luck to them is what I say.
