Re: Those VW Jetta Commercials....

I always look down when they are on - I hate those crashes!

I understand the point of the commercial, but they do freak me out a bit.

I absolutely agree. I was just telling my mother I have to mute the tv and literally put my hand in front of my face so I dont see it.

I think those commercials are horrible!!

I hate those too. I am a new driver and everytime I see them I get so scared to drive, especially with my 3 year old in the car.

"Volkswagen says that since the ads touting Jetta's crash safety began on April 10, requests for brochures are up 37% at call centers and 56% on the Web compared with the first 15 days of March, and Internet requests for dealer price quotes are up 58%. Dealers say the ads are working. Bob Grace, president of the Volkswagen Dealer Council and owner of Baton Rouge's Southpoint Volkswagen where Domangue bought her car, says, "We've seen a real uptick in traffic. Dealer feedback is that it's working."

Grace says, "The advertising is shocking, but customers are saying that it makes you think about the safety of our cars."

Ahh gotcha! Yeah, I took a lot of advertising majors and always learned that using fear messages can scare people too much...Like the this is your brain on drugs...I don't know if it's working for them.... Chat Icon

And those quit smoking ads that are out right now....I think they scare people too much, but it's not an eye wakener to "stop" or "quit"....lost in translation...
