Have you seen the new Volkswagen adverts featuring Brooks Shields as a reporter dedicated to speaking the truth about people getting pregnant just to rationalize the purchase of a new Routan? If you haven’t you can check them out here.
Personally, I didn’t find it all that funny, but hey, that’s just me. Part of the problem was that the Routan is just a gussied up Dodge Caravan (insert comment about putting lipstick on a pig here), so the Germany engineering comments felt more like a lie or a least an extreme stretching of the truth. While I don’t think that the ad campaign really worked I have found a car for which it would not only work, but would probably be true, at least I would have a kid just to get one: the Lamborghini Estoque.
This gorgeous concept became my family car of choice the second I saw it (my previous choice would have been the Audi RS6, which actually sports the same V10 engine as the Lamborghini Gallardo). Admittedly, it is just a concept and may never see the light of day, but with Porsche set to produce the Panamera and Aston Martin contemplating the Rapide (both 4-doors) it might just make it off the motor show circuit and onto the streets. I certainly think the world would be a better place if it did, at least more fun…I mean family friendly.
