The New Beetle is ten years old and Volkswagen Mexico has launched a limited numbered edition to celebrate. They have also launched a special website for us to visit.  A really good development with cool animations and transitions.  Shame on the flash loaders, that are so hidden that the common user might not see them. (hint: see the blue bar at the top)

The New Beetle is ten years old. New, yes, because time goes on and it keeps looking completely different from others. It is so new that keeps liking you so much as the first time you saw it. And that is for celebrating.

Do you remember the first time you saw it? For the first time, a car that didn’t seem like any other, it was completely different. “Like ten years ahead”, you said. Almost like twenty, don’t you think so? Wait another ten years and you’ll see. In the meanwhile, come and get yours, because we are celebrating this ten years with a special limited edition that will not come back. There are only 310 and, no, in the future there will not be a car like this.

Microsoft has launched a new website to promote Office 2008 for Mac. A really good approach with the simplification methaphora. The bad thing is when you want to “learn more” about the product, you are redirected to the traditional (and not-so-simplified) MS website.

Coca-Cola has launched in France a new website that might extend the “Happiness Factory” concept to the online world. Regardless that the website takes a while to load, the graphics at the very first sight are really good. Once you start browsing you realize that in fact the development is too heavy, so it is difficult to really enjoy it. The advergame is really complicated. At the end, a really good effort but only enjoyable by those who have a broadband internet connection.
