“Stopped Eatin’ Cars … Now He Only Eats Guitars”

Today's ridiculous brand mash comes courtesy of VW. Press release via Yahoo Business:

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- In a move only Volkswagen could conceive, the iconic brand has teamed up with guitar industry innovator First Act Inc. for a first-of-its-kind musical collaboration that will rock potential car buyers and create a whole new segment of players. Beginning October 3 and continuing through December 31, any customer that purchases or leases a designated Volkswagen model from the new 2007 line -- including Jetta, Jetta GLI, GTI, Rabbit, New Beetle and New Beetle Convertible -- will receive their own completely customized First Act GarageMaster electric guitar that will play seamlessly through the car's existing audio system. The 2006 Jetta, Jetta GLI, GTI, Rabbit, New Beetle and New Beetle Convertible will also come with a custom-made First Act GarageMaster guitar. Each electric guitar is a wholly unique, one-of-a-kind instrument and is available exclusively to those who purchase or lease one of these Volkswagen models through a Volkswagen dealer. No other manufacturer offers a musical experience quite like this to its customers.
