Volkswagen doesn't want to be known as a safe car

Apparently our good friends at Volkswagen don't want the VW Polo known as the car that prevents terrorism. They're suing.

Volkswagen is to take legal action against the mystery duo who made the controversial suicide bomber short film that apparently shows an Arab blowing himself up in a Polo car.

After a week of prevarication, the car giant has decided to go ahead and sue the people behind the advert on the grounds that it was damaging its reputation around the world and falsely linked the VW with terrorism.

(I don't think the BBC meant to accuse Volkswagen of lying.)

This isn't the first time Volkswagen showed no sense of humor about the safety features of their car. Someone in the PR department with a sense of humor should tell the lawyers to lighten up.
