This promotion is trying to overshadow the companies other problems, such as pricing.  I dont mind that most of their models have gone up in price...they are no longer the "car of the people," and havent been for some time, but they are cheaper than their German counterparts.  however, when you advertise "who would believe you could get all this (rabbit) for $14,990" you should sell one for close to that. Dealers tell me it is nearly impossible to find a 2 door 5 speed rabbit.  No inventory, and I am bored of what I see.  Sorry, I want to love the company, but a guitar is not going to solve their problems.  oh, and why not Fender Vee-dub? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[james]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 3rd 2006 1:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on VW gives customers the axe: electric guitar comes with every vehicle]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/03/vw-gives-customers-the-axe-electric-guitar-comes-with-every-veh/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/03/vw-gives-customers-the-axe-electric-guitar-comes-with-every-veh/</guid><description><![CDATA[When the car brakes down, you can always use the guitar to smash it on the hood. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Art Bjornson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 3rd 2006 1:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on VW gives customers the axe: electric guitar comes with every vehicle]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/03/vw-gives-customers-the-axe-electric-guitar-comes-with-every-veh/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/03/vw-gives-customers-the-axe-electric-guitar-comes-with-every-veh/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually, this is a hand made guitar, not cheap at all.

Much more useful to more people, they've done it before, and so on.<br><br>But I'd rather they spent money on quality issues than gimmicks like this.  VW is generally price-wise at the top or over the top of the market segment they compete in, which makes the "for a few thousand more or the same price I could get a X", where X is much more desirable car, a really hard sell.  Especially for the Passat, where you are almost talking BMW when you drop in some options.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 3rd 2006 2:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on VW gives customers the axe: electric guitar comes with every vehicle]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/03/vw-gives-customers-the-axe-electric-guitar-comes-with-every-veh/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/03/vw-gives-customers-the-axe-electric-guitar-comes-with-every-veh/</guid><description><![CDATA[First off, #12, no way in hell this is a hand made guitar.  Not even PRS or Gibson guitars are "hand made".<br><br>Despite what #16 says, these are the cheap guitars that you buy at Wal-Mart.  Exactly.  First Act guitars are the exact brand that Wal-Mart sells.<br><br>I don't give a shit what artists they have on their website, these are still Wal-Mart guitars.  It is not hard to hire someone to craft a small batch of quality guitars for trade shows and to distribute to artists, then mass produce sawdust guitars to sell to the public.  Do you really think all those artists who play Fenders play the same ones that Guitar Center sells?  No, they play custom shop models.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Will]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 3rd 2006 2:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on VW gives customers the axe: electric guitar comes with every vehicle]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/03/vw-gives-customers-the-axe-electric-guitar-comes-with-every-veh/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/03/vw-gives-customers-the-axe-electric-guitar-comes-with-every-veh/</guid><description><![CDATA[Chevy could follow suit & pony up the Corvette with the all-ready-in-production Paul Reed Smith Z06 model. Then again, that guitar lists for about $6000. Either way, I'd love to have both guitars, even if the VW is just a gimmick. Also, Gibson had a line of Les Pauls that were painted in a '57 Chevy motif. Nifty stuff.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[piglet]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 3rd 2006 2:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on VW gives customers the axe: electric guitar comes with every vehicle]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/03/vw-gives-customers-the-axe-electric-guitar-comes-with-every-veh/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/03/vw-gives-customers-the-axe-electric-guitar-comes-with-every-veh/</guid><description><![CDATA[smells like desperation in wanting that "rocker" image. and i agree w/ #1, it's in desperate need of a discount!<br><br>sad, just plain sad.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Luxury Larry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 3rd 2006 2:55PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
