Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I just came across this
one-month-old article on the German magazine Der Spiegel's site (in
English):

http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/0,1518,471467,00.html

 

It's entitled "Until Rust Do Us Part", and discusses the recent increase
in the appearance of the VW vans in film.
