Uh oh, then she'll have some 'splaining to do! Waaaah! And did she mention she just couldn't resist that fur coat...? [Vintage-Ads]

This Volkswagen ad for the "New Beetle" in China illustrates the new design not with an actual picture of a car but with two women: one from the '60s in a longer dress and one from "today" in a minidress and heavy eye-make up. Wow! Fashions change... which means we need to get a new car that is (probably) too hideous to even be featured in the ad. Too bad advertising trends don't seem to change, because the whole short skirts=innovation (not to mention women=car) is getting kinda old. (Click the picture to view the full-size ad) [AdRants]
