Cities Changing Before Your Eyes
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 02. 5.08
Cities evolve; that is why they can turn green, adapt, thrive and change according to conditions, or fall so disastrously into ruin in a generation. Never have they changed so dramatically as in this Volkswagen commercial from Embassy Visual Effects. Try filming this in suburban Phoenix.
TreeHugger does not endorse driving Volkswagens through European cities when one should be on a bicycle, we just watch it for the buildings. ::The Embassy via ::NotCot

Remind me.. what has this got to do with treehugging exactly.
Please stay on topic guys - the feed is hard enough to keep up with as it is.
Funky, yes, but green?
This possibly belongs on a blog about design, but not an environmental blog.
Ditto Peter Daam's comments above.

Don't see the point with this ad. Not even architectural innovations, just some visual effects...
we must have more trees all over the world so that we can save the environment and safeguard from every disasters like too much heat, tornados etc. Otherwise nothing could help.
Why does one need the four-wheel-drive and extra ground clearance of an SUV for driving in these cities? Oh yes, the stairs . . .
VW sold its soul (and I point to their "live below your means" series of Beetle ads as evidence they had one) whne they made the gashogs Touareg and Phaeton.
Somehow the new Rabbit needs a 2.5 liters of engine when my '85 GTI was a "pocket rocket" with 1.8. Mine got over 31 mpg consistently with a lead foot, the EPA says the new Rabbit's good for 24 mpg. The "micro SUV" in the ad is supposed to get "mid 20's".
VW should make their 60's ad campaign, which featured the economy and simplicity of their cars in simple terms, required reading for their current crop of product developers.
Can I have less, please?
