lets get back to VW... i doubt they are out to get us or wipe out bad comments etc. VW just switched creative agencies and this could be a new avenue for VW to reach out to their customers. We are now entering a new area online with blog popularity, forums , flickr, myspace and the like. We actually just concepted a piece for a global "beverage" company where community played a big part. Consumers are now being asked to play a part, data collection, it's real feedback.
Lee Hunt has even been hanging out at vwvortex.com
If your a new Alpha Driver for the Passat, you get first dibs on commercials, webcast, swag etc..
Hopefully things like this will help VW pull itself out of the hole its in right now.
