I never thought I'd see the day where I'd be asking if users would drive a vintage "Fanwagen" but then again I have written plenty of things I never thought would happen. Here we go...
Oh-kay, so according to reports Volkswagen Netherlands is bringing back the old-school Beetle and Bus to promote social media and get Facebook fans engaged -- I think.
The point of this exercise is to have Facebook fans choose what to spec in the car, vote for their favorite, and then be entered in a chance to win it.
Let's say you theoretically win this contest -- are you really winning anything though? Driving a vintage Beetle or Bus is one thing, but driving a Facebook-themed car?
Would you be caught DEAD behind the wheel of these vehicles that are a living representation of social media on wheels?
