Jetta Transformer Ripping up Beijing

The Chinese fascination, perhaps better called an obsession, with all things Transformers has not yet reached its peak. The release of the second Transformers movie in China has only served to make the Transformers stronger than before in the PRC, which has resulted in various Autobots doing lucrative product sponsorship on various products from male skin care products to kids cereal.

    Buick Excelle? Buick Excelle?

    MADNESS!

    The Excelle is for families, and middle aged men. The Jetta is a cheap, overbuilt, tough car. Its the ultimate autobot! It could take on Devastator all by itself!

    What does it matter what it is? Buicks are crap. I can’t believe people buy them here. If you want an ugly under powered car get a buick.

    That’s funny. I remember that C4 ad from a couple of years ago when they brought out the new C4. Maybe the could do a rerun for the C-Quatre sedan.

    Shut your crap, it’s just the same with the U.S., there’s no need to put down China just because it’s got neon lights in the cities. It’s got way more culture than the States.
