This is gonna be a weird share. In highschool, we had a class where we had to identify hurtful stereotypes pushed by advertisers and we used this ad. Part of the activity was to modify the ad in a way to "fix" it. Since we had no photoshop skills, we added mustaches to the women and changed some text like removing "babe-magnet" and erased "WO" so it's just "MEN". It was pretty dumb but we thought it was pretty funny.

Well, five times zero women checks out.

I really wish I could buy something like that in the US instead of cars with the engine bay taking up a third of its length.

Sold as the Bedford Rascal in the UK, a classic compact van of the early 90's :)

Not the same, but similar - I have a Bedford Bambi campervan, it's ludicrous and slow but all my VW owning friends hang out in the Bambi as it has so much space.

Why does everyone forget chainsaws.

Practical, widely available and the most efficient packing solution out there.

I could easily fit two dozen people (chainsaws aren't inherently sexist btw) into that van with the use of mother nature's little buddy, the chainsaw.

I really would like to be able to buy a car like that. Looks fun and practical

True. These vans are pretty cheap as well.

I like the new VW minibus, I am also 197cm tall so most cars are too small for me, even the Hyundai I40 I own that by european standards is a big car.

So I reckong I could fit into something like the VW minibus as it's more vertical + it looks fun with the colors and it's electric
