VIDEO: The Benefits of the VW Touareg's retractable mirrors
We didn't think that promoting the benefits of a car feature by ogling women could get any funnier than Nissan's (not safe for work) independent front suspension ad, but Volkswagen just might have managed to do just that – and in a more "gentlemanly" fashion, too.
I'm sure the chivalry won't be lost on our more feminist-leaning readers, either. (Wait a second, how many feminists are reading our car blog, anyway?) Just remember: we don't make the news, we just report it (and laugh).

Here come the feminist comments. Hey, there's a limit on how much oogling you do but if you don't want to be admired on how good you look, just get fat and wear moo moo's. Ah hell, now I pissed off plus sized women.

Yet another moron feeling it necessary to point out that this ad is really old...sheesh.

Most executives are men, most ad creatives are men, and all they can think of is sex to sell things.
Most Touareg drivers are women though.
This is the kind of ad that makes my wife think "you lost a sale on that one"
Knowing your market is key. It's a Touareg/Rav4/CRV/Murano generic CUV chick car, people.
