    The new Jetta is great and all, but have you ever considered a notnew Jetta? Like this example from 2003 that’s being sold up in Cochrane, Alberta. At first glance, the black Jetta may look unremarkable, but never judge a book by its cover, as this ad from the seller points out. Following in...

    The history of Volkswagen is littered with great cars and even greater ads. For every brilliant model, there was a brilliant, funny, self-aware ad to sell it.
