The best ad ever.

Volkswagen's "Think Small" campaign was named number one by Advertising Age's top 100 ad campaigns of the 20th century.


“Our little car isn’t so much of a novelty any more.  A couple of dozen college kids don’t try to squeeze inside it.  The guy at the gas station doesn’t ask where the gas goes.  Nobody even stares at our shape.  In fact, some people who drive our little flivver don’t even think 32 miles to the gallon is going any great guns.  Or using five pints of oil instead of five quarts.  Or never needing anti-freeze.  Or racking up 40,000 miles on a set of tires.  That’s because once you get used to some of our economies, you don’t even think about them any more.  Except when you squeeze into a small parking spot.  Or renew your small insurance.  Or pay a small repair bill.  Or trade in your old VW for a new one.  Think it over.”

  1. All these VW ads are really making me wish I had a cute little car like a beetle, instead of the stupid, gas guzzling Ford Ranger I have.
