Probably the GTI commercials aren't running in Canada yet. Here's one of them:

I don't think they are especially funny, but there are a couple moments.

EDIT: Here are some more

WOW! Those are just downright stupid. I can't believe some advertising geek actually made that fly with VW. On the other hand, VW people can be somewhat "quirky". I was a VW owner for almost a decade. I was a bit of a fanatical NUTJOB. I'm not sure I've totally recovered.

To pay that kind of money for another version of a Troll doll has to be driven by some kind of idiosyncratic weirdness. Please don't associate that lump of garbage with our S2000.

VW Fast still equals slow. Least they have a mascot now.

That deep, evil voice -- is that supposed to the the Fast's voice? That little shit needs to learn how to speak English. It can't stand how it refers to itself as "My Fast."

Don't worry, I'm sure someone will make cheap ripoffs that will end up on eBay soon They're still better than the old German guy trying to act cool and doing the VW thing with his hands commericals. Glad I don't drive a VW and have to be associated with that. OTOH, our car is often associated with ricers...

all in all, I gotta admit that it was a pretty cool commerical. I remember when I was in the car business, around the time the new accord came out and the element. Honda seemed to be focused on attracting what they called "emotion driven customers". VW was and is doing real well in that market share. I guess that's just their style. The Honda element was right on the dot there. If I lived close to a beach, I'd have to own the element, it's too cool.

Man, these commercials are great. The Take Out one and the Stremlined one are my favorite two.

I'd love a MY FAST. But no way I'd pay $500 for it. Give me the cheap $3 Chinatown knock off.
