For the life of us, we dont know what's gotten into some of these manufacturers and their seemingly growing obsession with infusing some form of variety show elements into a car launch. The recent launch of Volkswagen->ke94's New Compact Coupe hybrid at the Detroit Motor Show certainly didn't lack in flash and pizazz after a group of dancers did their best dance crew impersonation leading up to the official unveiling of Volkswagen's new hybrid coupe.

Don't get us wrong; we advocate flamboyant car launches and the ostentatious buzz it creates. It's just that we find the whole dance routine a little 'pop-ish' and not something that anybody would associate with VW's new Compact Coupe. Forgive us; but we may just have been permanently scarred by the horrendous Chevy Volt Song and Dance routine.
