Practical Joke of the Day: VW Touareg Cabrio - 12-28-2007, 08:44 AM


December 28 is the "dia de los Inocentes" in Spain, which is basically equivalent to our April Fool's Day. Bogus media stories are part of the fun, and it looks like businesses get in on the action, too. Case in point: Volkswagen.

If you visit VW Spain's website today, you're greeted with the normal landing page, which spotlights the "new Touareg Cabrio" at the top. Clicking on the image brings you to touaregcabrio.com, a microsite registered to VW's Spanish division, according to a quick WHOIS lookup.

There, you're given three links: Acabados (trim levels), Motores (engines) , and Galerķa (gallery). Clicking on any of them lets you know it's all a joke, and allows you to forward the gag to a friend. If you do that, your buddy will receive this email message, which "introduces" readers to the ragtop Touareg. Tomorrow, it'll probably all be gone. Go through the motions yourselves starting here.
