VW Launches Betta Getta Jetta Ad Campaign

Well, Volkswagen has dusted off the old rhyming dictionary and is using it sell the Jetta with a new multi-part ad series.

The ads are named “Turb-Whoa,” “Bass,” “Rings,” “Puzzle,” and “App-Magnet” and more, and highlight the new model’s fresh renewal and its high-end features.

The ads not only shine a light on some of the Jetta’s finer qualities, they also feature the music of 12 up and coming artists on the Interscope Records label, including YUNGBLUD, Gryffin, Louis the Child, Kali Uchis, and other artists whose names make me feel old and out of touch.

“To relaunch one of Volkswagen’s most iconic vehicles, we wanted to convey a youthful and fun side of the brand,” said Todd Riddle, EVP, executive creative director at Deutsch. “We tapped into different production techniques and utilized music in ways we haven’t before. It is a perfect reflection of the brand’s soul while signaling an important progression with the new Jetta.”

We drove the new Jetta in April and by our estimation, it’s a pretty solid car that does everything you’d hope for from a Jetta.

Even with the success of the Atlas and the Tiguan, though, VW can’t really afford for the best-selling car in its North American lineup not to be a success and so is putting its weight behind the car.

Designed specifically for North American tastes, since we are the ones who buy it with the most zeal, the Jetta starts at just $18,545 (which $100 less than the outgoing Jetta), so things are starting off well.

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...
