VW: Got konged!

The Car Connection is reporting about VW's cooperation with Universal for the remake of "King Kong".

Nevertheless, VW is channeling more Kong material your way through its Web sites and through its Frankfurt auto show display. The official movie trailer showed up on its Web site in June. And at Frankfurt, VW will be playing more backstage footage from the filming around a new Touareg “Kong” model they’ll show off at the notoriously overwhelming show. The footage, from the “Skull Island” set in New Zealand, will show up behind a Touareg all gussied up with new side skirts, more chrome and badging - and in a nod to the vague S&M undertones of the movie, the Touareg will be tied down to the stand.
“An allusion to the tied up sacrificed white woman in the movie,” we are totally quoting from a press release.

Update: Ok, ok, the Touareg won’t actually appear in King Kong, which will be set in the 1930s, but it will be part of an extensive tie-in campaign that plays on the Touareg’s sutability for both back-lot and jungle duty. Plus, VW will show off a Kong-themed Touareg at the Frankfurt motor show next week
