A vehicle advertisement highlighting changes made to improve ride quality, comfort, accessibility, and overall design. The improvements address customer complaints. New, improved box. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, ING. Alas. As big and lovable as it was, there were still some things some people didn't love about our old wagon. Some people weren't too crazy about the way it rode. "Like a truck," someone said. So we re-built the Volkswagen Station Wagon from the bottom up and now it rides just like a car. Some people weren't too crazy about the way it looked either. "No class," some- one else said. So we gave it a little more class. "It's not the most comfortable thing on earth," was another complaint. So we made it more comfortable. The inside is nicer. There's more room than ever before for up to 9 people. Just about everything's padded and cushioned. The armrests are thicker. The seats, more plush. "The front doors are too narrow and too hard to get through." So we made the front doors wider and easier to get through. "The side doors get in the way when I'm loading," someone said. So we put in a huge 3/2' by 4' sliding side door. Slide the door open. Slide the piano in. Slide the door closed. (It locks automatically in both positions.) "It doesn't have enough heater and vent outlets." So now we have 6. "It has too many little windows." So we built giant ones. "The windshield wipers are too small." So we built giant wipers (to go along with the giant windows). "It's kind of homely," some- one finally said. "Can you make it beautiful?" Nope. W
