Some guys have all the luck. Like Jay Leno. Not only is he a famous and wealthy TV presenter, but he also gets to drive a bevy of new cars well before anyone else. After driving the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell, which won�t enter production for another two years, and the new SLS Roadster wasn�t enough, Leno was also invited to VW�s headquarters at Wolfsburg to try out the new Beetle.
Many have tried, but few, if any that is, have succeeded. We�re talking about people who try to imitate the driving style of the Dukes of Hazzard, but who eventually end up in a situation that�s closer to what you�d expect from Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane than Bo and Luke Duke. In this video, we see the driver of Volkswagen Caddy small van getting off the road to use a knoll as a lifting ramp� Do we need to say more? Watch the clip for yourself after the break (for a better viewing experience we propose playing both videos at the same time).
Volkswagen won an amazing 34 �Lions� in the 58th International Festival of Creativity in Cannes. The German automaker, which came away with more awards than ever before (8 Golden, 14 silver and 11 Bronze), also won a �Titanium Lion� for the �Think Blue� campaign. However, the star of the show was, of course, �The Force�, Volkswagen�s extremely successful TV ad that features a Lilliputian Darth Vader wannabe and the new Passat. This ad alone, which has been watched by over 40 million viewers on Youtube, won three awards, two Gold and one Bronze.
The rebel alliance from�Greenpeace launched a coordinated attack against the Volkswagen Group this morning by airing spoofs of the German firm�s now famous mini Darth Vader commercial, taking over advertising hoardings to install their own banners on billboards located in London and unleashing �eco-storm troopers� to protest on London's Old Street. 
Greenpeace went ahead with the attack to draw attention to its concerns over the German company�s ecological record. The environmental activist group claims that the car giant is �spending millions of Euros every year funding lobby groups who are trying to stop Europe increasing its commitment to greenhouse gas reductions from 20% to 30% by 2020� and calls Volkswagen to turn away from the Dark Side.
