There are currently at least three ads on TV in California featuring VW busses. One is a Raley's supermarket ad where a fellow shops at the market, extolling its virtues, and the cashier/stock boy loads the groceries into the rear hatch area of a red 70's bus! The other is an anti-drug ad featuring a young woman saying she knows drugs are bad cause her parents talk to her and she's riding in the passenger seat of a bay-window bus, unknown vintage. There's a third ad featuring a splittie at a red light in the desert next to some unrecognizable-cause-they-all look-the-same-import car.

Is the TV advertising world pandering to the aging hippies or what?
