Just saw on Pro7 (German TV) the Volkswagen-Commercial of the new Phaeton.
It shows short clips of "Don´t look back". But sadly, the commercial has no sound.
Anyway, it´s pretty cool.

The ad isn't for a bug. It appears to be a luxury sedan.

The commercial reads:
Ist das nur ein musiker? [clip of Dylan]
Ist das nur ein automobil? [clip of car]

Can anyone translate this? I ran it through the altavista translator and
got: "only is one musician?"

There is only one musician (like Dylan)
There is only one car (like Volkswagen)

- seems like a pretty good ad to me - gotta go buy a VW right now;-)

Finally an ad campaign that would work on me, I am usually immune to
them but I think they finally hit my demographic. Too bad I have a
car...

Don't look back to the 30's - 40's.

I'd say something more like:

Is this only a musician?
Is this only a car?
