January 28, 2010Joseph LaMuraglia

We called it Punch Bug when I was a kid and we played it on the way to school and on every road trip. We never questioned where the game of punching someone else when you saw a VW Beetle came from but in this brilliant campaign launched today, VW claims to have found the guy that did.

A “Fiesta Movement” might sound more like a circuit party than a way to sell cars, but Ford Motor Company hopes some off-beat marketing gets the word out about the 2011 Fiesta subcompact.
