"It's ugly but it gets you there."

Who says a German's PR company doesn't have a sense of humour?

Back then, even ads were exciting. Here's more about those VW ads: http://alexandergrant.blogspot.com/2010/06/1960s-volkswagen-...
This is such an odd advertisement

In one aspect it's self deprecating, crappy, and short. I mean "it's ugly"

But by another aspect, it reminds much of a "Think different" ad especially in contrast with the other "wall of text" ads of that time
