Check out the YouTube clip below to see Brooke Shields in a humourous but truly disingenuous Volkswagen Routan advertisement. It's funny stuff, yes. But the mentions of German engineering drive me absolutely bonkers.

BROOKE SHIELDS STARS IN NEW VW ROUTAN AD
Check out the YouTube clip below to see Brooke Shields in a humourous but truly disingenuous Volkswagen Routan advertisement. It's funny stuff, yes. But the mentions of German engineering drive me absolutely bonkers.The Routan is a Chrysler Town & Country. Yeah, it looks slightly different and has a Volkswagen grille.

It's a typically modern and hip advertisement, nonetheless. What would you expect from VW? Oh, I don't know, a true Volkswagen van based on a stunning concept from 2001, perhaps?
