You never see a sportscar maker like Ferrari or Lamborghini to hold such a big event to reveal their high-end cars, but VW does that for an economy class car such as the new Jetta! The car itself costs form $16,000, but they must have spent a helluva lot more to take over NY’s Times Square like that. And to attract the crowd, they even hired Katy Perry, but that was a bad plan because God bless her she turned up in such a tight dress that no one looked at the car anyway 🙂
