it concerned the commercial of the vw towing the airstream trailer home. a customer who had one bought the truck thinking it could do it. The 600 lb. tounge weight limit on the toureg said otherwise. VW made the announcement that it was a mistake by the ad department, sent letters to all the current owners NOT to do it, and bought back that particular customer's VW.

Looks like they pulled the commerical off their website too. I had seen that commercial on the vw.com website before and thought it was funny... too bad its not true.

Ditch the breading, and you've got an Atkins diet meal.
