Marketing At Its Finest

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – The Volkswagen Rabbit logo mimics its distant cousin, the official Playboy Rabbit Head logo, in an ad on the back cover of the September issue of Playboy, due on newsstands Friday, August 4.

“The return of the Rabbit to the North American market has been extremely well received. The Playboy opportunity was a great chance to unite two famous and iconic brands,” said Volkswagen's Director of Brand Innovation Kerri Martin.


Yet another example of why the American car companies are lagging behind the Germans and Japanese.

Who knew that our auto industry had fallen at the hands of feminists?

Kermit, sometimes we here at Say Anything like to take a break from politics and engage in a bit of whimsey.  If you don’t like it, go start your own blog.

This is the internet.  Pictures of girls and whimsy aplenty are but a click away.  That’s not why we come here.

No.  I don’t care enough about you or what you think to let it impact my emotions.  I was just pointing out that this is my blog and I will post what I like here.

Errr, it has to do with, uh, uh, economics.

Yes, that’s right, economics.

I see, so now you’re speaking for all SA readers?

Talk about arrogance…

Is it just me? Or is “German car” not the first thing that pops into your mind when you see the ad?
