I don't know if you guys have seen this commerical ... but it's a new series of commercials where these guys are driving a VW GTI and they have this black toy figure called "Fast". I was wondering if I can get more information about getting one of these figures. My car needs a new mascot!!

Are these commercials available online? VW has some very clever advertising guys, and their commercials are often very entertaining. I haven't seen this newest one though (yet, anyway).

my wife saw that commercial and said "what is that toy thing? i don't get it!"

sounds like a cool mascot to me!

Yeah, I've seen two of 'em -- one where he is driving with all the windows open and his girlfriend wnats him to close them, but his "fast" won't allow it. and another when he is pulled over by a cop for speeding.

They are both clever adds. I don't have any info the figures, though, sorry...

I checked the commercials on Volkswagen's website but this one wasn't there. What WAS there was a commercial called "Stereo", which was hilarious. Go watch it, now.

That was pretty cool. I think it's a rebadged Rega P5.5. I wonder what kind of cart and phono stage it has.

There's a third one ... different dude.
- The guy calls up an Indian restaurant and orders some food. The guy taking the order asks, "Pickup or delivery?" The rain is pouring like crazy outside. "Pickup or delivery?" The guy looks at his "fast" and he decides to do pickup. The "fast" then says something like "Delivery is for panzies ..."
