  • That's an ugly car.

  • I'm sorry, I couldn't take my eyes off her hips...

  • 1:14 Look at those numbers. The commas are misplaced...

  • The ironic thing about this commercial is that the car sold poorly and it no longer in production. We'll just chalk this commercial to being some kind of weird parallel universe.

  • I thought it was the Honda Odyssey boom? Mistaken again...

  • Well. That was...dumb.

  • I so envy Brooke's husband. Oh to make love to her every night! I love you Brooke Shields!

  • One of the best commercials by VW, too bad Routan is not German engineered ... except for maybe the suspension tuning

  • Millions of babies per capita? Lol

  • Noble effort? What a misguided joke. Messing around withthe conception of children to sell cars?

    What a stupid offensive video.

    Shields was never never a comedianne and never will be funny, she's just lived a crazy sheltered deluded life & this is the result.

  • @MrSweetPotato

    So pitty you have no sence of humor. The ad is hilariously funny.

  • That was a really entertaining ad. I watched it to the end. Crazy.

  • 0:58

  • haha!! hilarious!

  • 1:26 LOL

  • I LOVE Brooke!

  • how did she get uglier?

  • IVF ya! just like you brooke.

  • This is freaking brilliant!

  • Haha,"german engineering",my ass. These are re-badged chrysler and dodge vans that are built in canada. And brook sheilds is alot uglier than everyone says.Just like sara jessica parker. fuck Im so tired of hearing "german engineering" "german tuned" german this german that. christ,its all a marketing scheme. I love VW but quit lying its a fucking american owned car built in canada so by a "german" company. Whats next saying a Golf has a "porsche tuned suspension"?

  • @rockerdude29 You're confusing Volkswagen with Opel. Opel originally was a German company, but belongs to GM. Volkswagen however still is a German company, headquartered in Germany, run (and owned) by Germans. Furthermore, there is no Volkswagen manufacturing plant in Canada (but one that belongs to Opel). Cheers

  • @KaiserBecks no,look up vw routan on wikipedia,these are dodge caravans and chrysler town & countrys made in canada and rebadged as Volkswagens.

  • @rockerdude29 Interesting, the Routan is only available on the American market?You're right, this certainly has nothing to do with German engineering. I'm wondering why they not just bring the Sharan to the American market? That's a minivan they actually built.

  • Still stunning as an older woman Brooke.

  • Really, really #WTF ??????????????????

  • Does it comes in GTI form? :)

  • 3:15 look at the bottom of the screen where the astrisk is, it says *Brooke did just make that up right now. xD

  • These ads were so funny

  • german engineered my ass

  • WTF is this?

  • Brooke, you are as smart and funny as you are nice looking. Love you lots.

  • ermmmmmmm was this for reall or was it REAl like is this fake or Realll xx ? :/

  • When was this ad made?

  • Is this for real? Or is it staged? Damn, Brooke still looks hot! And she's tall too! I like that!

  • lol this was funny :)

    love you brooke :)

  • GOOD: chrysler would not have to spend millions on a new commercial... simply paintshop the logo and they have a chrysler minivan commercial ready! YEY!

    BAD: people are actually going to fall for this stuff... sad

    come on VW... at least you could start with a powerplant of your own! rocket science... aaah... yes, rocket science...

  • WHO IN THE FUCK DOES VOLKSWAGEN THINK THEY ARE FOOLING!!! A Dodge Grand Caravan/Chrysler Town & Country with a VW badge on it is not, I repeat, NOT German engineering!!!!!! Hey, Earth to Volkswagen, as the proud owner of 2 Vanagons & now a EuroVan, I say scrap this rip-off from your lineup & bring the T5 to America!!!!! Then you will have a proper van to sell us again!!!

  • This is NOT German engineering its a Caravan even the same engine as the Caravan. NOT impressed.

  • yeah its too much caravan but at least they did tweak the suspension a lil make the steering better and do the vw magic to the interior

  • his rite it has the 2008present Dodge Grand Caravan moter in it.

    ManufacturerChrysler Group LLC

    Engine(s)3.8L EGH V6

    4.0L EGQ V6

    what was V W thinking??

  • hi!! , what is the films in scene 0:07 ¿?

    help me please

  • It's supposed to be funny, but somehow it's a little too serious for that.

  • Just what the world neads more americans !!

  • This is simply ORIGINAL! And Brooke, your beautiful eyes are the brightest window to one Soul!!

  • funny

  • its a commercial dont take it so seriously u idiots

  • wow u idiot the less german engineering on my driveway the better. they are the best u idiot u be lucky to have something as great as that

  • What utter drivel , the less "german engineering" i have on my driveway the better.

  • Wow, Brooke is great in that, I loved it! Thought it was a hoot!

  • Not so much on THIS video, but check out the brows she has on some of her NEW commercials!!! I just want to pluck them!!! AGH!!

  • I think Brooke Shields is pretty, but WOW those eyebrows are OUT OF CONTROL!!!!

  • The reason birthrate is so high is because more and more teens are getting laid. For god sake someone has to stop this epidemic. Support Abortions.

  • Screw abortion!! That's wrong!!! SUPPORT BIRTH CONTROL!!!

  • lolz "oh dont play dumb"

  • I actually like Brooke Shields in her later years yet I remember seeing her full-sized cutouts in a front of every other department store when I visited Japan in 1982. I thought she was overexposed back then but I finally became a fan when I saw "Suddenly Susan". I think she looks better now than back then.

    Er...what is this VW she's selling? I still like the "Bug", especially the early model convertible. One of my girlfriends who looked like her drove one, bit noisy though.

  • Brooke was hot in her youth, she's just different now. Back then she was a seductive innocent young girl, now she's a grown woman with more self-assurance and wisdom. She's still the sexiest woman that ever lived as far as I'm concerned! I love you Brooke!

  • Agree with you totally!

  • i think ill hv a baby 4 german engineering!! JK!!

  • I did not know that the Germans built the Dodge Caravan... Really..

  • It's not even German engineered. It's a Dodge Caravan/Chrysler Town and Country

  • having babies for love to the german engineering!

    LOL

  • Please. Don't be like Becky :|

  • It's another RV with a strange name, and promoted by Brooke Shields with a strange story about population growth. If the boomlet is due to RVs, a lot of automakers contributed.  Facetious.

  • Im not into ths van but they should make a GTI version with the golf GTI wheels :P

  • it is a Volkswagen "caravan"

  • stop this nonsens film and people in the film , VW THE BEST

  • i think this ad campaign was a failure. its not on anymore. i thought it was annoying anyway

  • Brooke Shields is a lotta woman!!! WOW!

  • Are people really this stupid?

  • "German Engineering"?! "German Engineering"?! "German Engineering"?! What....???! Is it official German governmental Ad? What is it?

  • Its called farfugnugen. -Now they've even got Brooke! -Be afraid. Be very afraid. :)

  • they talk about german engineering but they don`t sell this car in Germany ^^

  • Gee, didn't Daimler-Chrysler release this generation of the T&C? Wouldn't that make it "German Engineering"? Think about it.

  • you go booke!!!Thats pricissly what im saying make sure you have a baby for love not for your own satisfaction and the benefits you get out of it.

  • LMAO!! hilarious! gotta love brooke

  • made in Mexico.

  • fail, made in Canada

  • I don't speak German,but I like it a lot!!! Clever idea and Brooke Shields putting life on it!!!

  • I would buy a VW over a Chrysler any day of the week.....I don't know any car chrysler makes that gets 60mpg.....cause my VW does. Name a chrysler that can do that

    VW RULES!

  • IM WITH U ALL THE WAY BUDDY

  • buddy, your retarded

    the routan is made by chrysler in the SAME factory as the caravan

  • Dude,I said that they are not the same Car,Nothing about being made in the same factory.I am sorry You are the one that's retarded.

    VW's are made in Mexico or in other factories..They don't even have a factory in northern america yet.Chrysler probably was paid by VW to manufacture them to keep their factories open since they can't sell their own chrysler crap.

    VW's rule, and if you would pull your head out of your ass long enough to notice I am sure you would agree with me. Das Auto!

  • Engineered by Volkswagen made by Chrysler. Whats the big deal? Everyone is outsourcing.

  • german engineering my ass! lol

  • it is a chrysler. not vw

  • i was being sarcastic

  • chrysler engineering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • i support booms. pregnancy mmmmmmmmm

  • meh, the first commercial with brooke shields about the routan was good, but after that its just not funny anymore...

  • I wonder if brooke shields is trying to be as nutty as tom cruise

  • Get top scientist to fib it would be more believable

  • this so funny..... single for the love of german....

  • I agree...this aint a real vdub...

  • German engineering??? It's not enough that it is a ridiculous and stupid commercial, but it is not German engineered at all. It's just not! It is a Chrysler mini-van with a new interior and sheet metal. This is pretty sad since, while Chrysler brought back the mini-van craze with the Caravan in 1984, it was Volkswagen who originated the idea with the Micro-Bus in the 1950's. Apparently the VW technicians are having some difficulty with these as they are tooled to work on VW cars, not Chryslers.

  • I just laugh every time I see a ad like this, like anyone would actually buy this as it's just a dressed up Chyrsler T & C. But what makes me mad is that Volkswagen is trying to compete with Honda and Toyota. Especially with the fact that they're replacing the Jetta and Passat with "Americanized" cars.

  • Good point, but Honda and Toyota actually build their own cars (except for one Honda (the original Passport, I think) which was an Isuzu)

  • Yup, the passport was built by Isuzu (to bad they're gone from america).

  • these commercials are rediculously stupid...

  • calm down. it's a joke.

  • Yeah, but it's not funny. It also misrepresents the vehicle (again, it is not actually German). It fails on the humor level (thus failing as a joke) and it does little to actually tell you about the vehicle. It really insults the car buying vehicle. Although possibly anybody who finds these commercials funny, deserves to think they are buying a German car.

  • Well, Brooke Shields did make this funny, but if the owners of a Routan look inside the doors they could see that it's made by chyrsler by a sticker. I found that on a suzuki equator and it looks better than the frontier. (I really think it would have been a better idea if they made it off the grand vitara).

  • "Just watch as I selflessly help some of these misguided people." This is hilarious!

  • Brooke's enjoying a great comeback! We should all talk about wanting to murder our babies!

  • I HATE THIS COMMERCIAL!

    /fo reals

  • The best part of these commercials is that the routan is just a Chysler Town and Country with a VW Logo on it...

  • I'm an American who lives in Germany. A German acquaintance who was visiting New York City last week and saw this commercial cued me into searching for it—and I found it here on YouTube. This acquaintance thought the commercial was hilarious—which is somewhat odd considering the typical German mentality—and I simply thought the commercial was humorous but, as others have suggested, misplaced. In fact, I could swear it's a spoof commercial from Saturday Night Live!

  • This commercial is the first to compel me to write a review on any video. They are terrible, I don't get it, and as a woman over 40 with no kids, I don't think I'll ever give VW a second glance. And, I love Brooke so I just am baffled why she agreed to this insane series of commercials.

  • Stop you people...

    It is quite funny. Lighten up!

  • wtf..are these guys really that desperate to sell their cars?

  • This is the worst commercial that I have ever seen. It's soooooo stupid, it's horrible, it's not funny at all. It really makes me dislike Brook Shields even more than I already do.

  • For German Engineering? Nazi's did a lot of "engineering" back in WW2

  • This has got to be one of the WORST commercials Brook has ever lent her beauty to. Escortz007 is correct. Overpopulation is not a laughing matter. Brook has so much talent, and for it to be wasted on such a stupid television spot is, well, stupid.

  • overpopulation is not funny :( thank god for all the gay people who do not procreate, kudos for those who adopt, whether they are gay or straight.

  • brooke shields is so 1980's, these volkswagen commericals are horrible with the talking volkswagen and stuff, i miss the old hip rappin german commericals.

  • These commercials seriously did not work. They tried to be funny, but failed. Wow. They need to be pulled.

  • i signed in just to give this one star. these commercials are STUPID! please stop brooke shields, you're not someone people associate with funny or clever, nor is this commercial convincing or interesting.

  • HA! how ironic this commercial. Germans should have more babies since they are declining in population. Then what good will german engineering be?

  • we germans don´t even buy these types of cars,cause we think they´re ugly.

    it´s only the bad taste of the us citizens that produced this ugly car

  • I hate to tell ya but us Americans think there ugly too. Sick of the VW Crouton commercials, just annoying.

  • Wow, your so ignorant. It so amazing that anything you see on TV or the... lol internet, you automatically think that this is true.

    Hmm, most Americans own a SUV. This 'Routan' isn't an SUV.

  • Start Reading more dumb bitch. Teenage Pregnancy is for real. Your the fuck do u live in, White America, because i live in Ghetto America and witness these shit everyday.

  • Who are you talking to linkinparkfan4rock?

  • Laughter is the best medicine! Please don't take offense but once you have lost your ability to laugh even after the worst of times you have lost everything...I think that's why Brooke who has been through plenty of misery herself chose to do these commercials. Having already had a near death experience I hope I go out laughing with my friends all laughing with me! That it's the last sound I hear on Earth...going alone and in misery is the alternative and isn't for me...

  • commercial is genius

  • These are retarded commercials... Looks like an old baby boomer thought this would be funny... It's gay... Like most of the baby boomers. lol...

  • You seem to have misplaced your sense of humor. Perhaps you should go on Craigslist to find a replacement.

  • maybe if it had an ounce of humor...it just seems misplaced that she would be the spokeperson

  • genius!!!!

  • Man alive... a hot woman with a sense of humor! My dream girl...

  • Nice job putting all her commercials for VW together. I think Brooke Shields will do for German engineering what Lindsay Wagner did for Ford in the 90s. Brooke looks hotter than ever.

  • "You know, you really should only have children to bring life into the world, not to bring German Engineering into your driveway."

    Gold!

  • This commercial is mocking the self-righteous attitudes of people on 'the left' who tend to look down their nose at materialistic consumption, corporate logos, etc. The underlying message: don't feel guilty or shallow about buying a van, even though you are, in fact, a materialistic douchebag.

  • Dude... you don't have to be on "the left" in order to be self-righteous about materialistic consumption.  You just have to be a douchebag. I've met plenty of people on "the right" who are douchebags about wanting things. You can go ahead and treat materialism as a virtue, but that doesn't justify waste, nor does it answer those who treat materialism as a vice.

  • ITS A JOKE FOLKS!!!!

  • THNK YOU!!!

  • The most fictitious advertisement I have ever seen. It sucks.

  • Hahaha I loved these commercials.

    if you are REALLY taking this commercial seriously, then you must be having a baby purely for the love of German Engineering!!!

  • It's not German Engineering, it just isn't. It's a freakin' Chrysler. That's the part I find the most offensive. VW is trying to dupe the uninformed.

  • Oh shut up. Just shut up. Oh yeah, and lighten up.

  • I have to say this is the worst commerical I have EVER seen. For anyone who has been through fertility treatments or has struggled to get pregnant this is a slap in the face.

  • Anyone who has been through fertility treatments? You mean like Brooke Shields actually did? LOL!

  • Apparently she has forgotten the pain and the emotional roller coaster. Unless you have been there you have no idea!!!

  • it's not that deep..

  • Can Americans no longer accept satire or are all these negative comments just pure xenophobia? Besides Brooke looks better than she ever has, stunning in fact. And she is very effective with her deadpan delivery.

    Perhaps many see this as a sly German slap at our hypocritical ways? We are quite deserving. Especially when we have a VP candidate promoting so-called "conservative values" in porn heels and short skirts.

  • What?

  • co-sign

  • worst commercial idea ever. i can't wait until this vw campaign ends. also, this is just the new re-badged caravan. nothing german about it's engineering besides the logo.

  • When I first saw these commercials, I was like, "What's up with Brooke Shields and Volks?" I though she was having another of her postpartum episodes again... but then after a while I found these commercials funny. Its the kind of humor that slowly builds up on you. I like Brooke Shields so much. She's great.

  • Im about to go have sex with a bunch of girls...but not for no Volkswagon...im after STD's

  • lol that was HILARIOUS!!! I didnt know there was a longer version. She kept mentioning herself in the dedication. Thats funny. I love her as an actress.

  • OH GOWD....I think I laughed so hard, that I saw my own eyes fall apart.

  • i take back my earlier comment. it is kinda funny.

  • This marketing campaign is completely idiotic and makes zero sense. I feel bad that Volkswagen bought off on this totally stupid idea. It is painful to watch. I am embarrassed for them. I wretch in physical abdominal pain, much like getting a gut punch. The person who signed off on this monstrosity should be fired for selling zero product. I will never approach volkswagen ever again as a potential customer for insulting my intelligence so badly with this fake useless marketing campaign.

  • the routan marketing campaign was funny for like thirty-five seconds, then it started getting really irritating, and now i don't even want to THINK about brooke shields.

  • I HATE THESE COMMERCIALS!!!!!

  • I am happy to say that I just wasted over 4 minutes of my life watching a fucken stupid commercial. Thanks Brooke!!

  • Are people who are criticizing this for being insensitive to couples with fertility problems - unaware that Brooke Shields went through rather well-publicized issues with fertility? Repeated artificial insemination treatments each time for each of her two children? I have no idea why anyone would find these commercials insensitive (it's crazy) but I think it's also defused by using Brooke Shields in them. She always projected such warmth - even when she's trying to be coldly analytical!

  • Wonderful - and I think Brooke Shields is the only one who could pull it off because she's such a pleasure to look at, seems so kind, charming, and is so famous now for being a mother.

    Volkswagen may be over-confident about the appeal of the phrase "German engineering" to a century of Americans raised with World War I and II movies.

    But the commercials are very amusing - and that's rare with car commercials. In the end, most are like me - we'd quite like Brooke Shields in anything!

  • overconfident?common, give me a break.just because we are germans and we made mistakes in the past doesn´t mean we can´t be proud of ourselfs!

  • WOW Brooke Shields has some serious child-bearing hips.

  • Loved this commercial! its hilarious!! lighten up people. its meant to introduce VW first minivan to the U.S. since they don't have any customer base yet.

  • PALINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNnnNNNnNn­NnNnNNNnnNNNnnNNNNnNnNNnNNnNnN­nnNnnNNnnNnnNnnNnn

  • These commercials...FRIGGIN HILARIOUS. If you are offended, you seriously need to get over yourself and your highly oversensitive feelings.

  • OK, I'm not the only one who finds these offensive, then.

  • Ahaha wow, what is wrong with everyone? I think Brooke Shields just trolled the entire planet or something because everyone's pissed off. ITS A JOKE PEOPLE. Laugh, you might not hate yourself and the world so much with a sense of humor

  • u r an idiot

  • This isn't satire. I'm not sure what it is, apart from appallingly stupid and mildly offensive. Brooke Shields looks great. She also looks like an idiot for taking this job. Puzzling, awful commercial. You don't think we should buy your enormous cars? Okay, works for me.

  • does ANYONE laugh, or even become mildly amused by watching these ads? they're just awful.

  • lol again... its just supposed to be funny ppl.

  • i swear to God this has to be the worst car commercial ever made. wtf "don't have baby, cuz if u wanna have German engineer crap"

    stupid commercial

  • It seems a rather ineffective commercial, but I suppose it links the mini-van to family. And I guess you here the word german engineering enough to assume it's good, & that your family can depend on it, or so they claim.

    The problem is I haven't seen the full 5 min. version on TV, just short excerpts which make the commerial more confusing.

  • I saw the on TV and was puzzled..

  • I love how some people who watched and commented have taken this commecial way to seriously. It's called 'Satire' people!

    The ad is brilliant! Brooke is halarious in it.
