Volkswagen is painting quite the pretty picture to promote the fall launch of its new 2012 Jetta GL model and the car itself is the brush. The campaign, developed by Red Urban in Toronto, is centred on a 30-second TV commercial in which the Jetta GL races around a dark, damp parking lot, creating a light painting using its headlights and tail lamp. The effort features the tagline “Driving can be beautiful.”
