But however coldly it is called, it is said to be the closest you could ever get to satisfying a desire of  floating on a puffy white cloud.

We can demonstrate the pictures here (see down below), but apparently they are not even close to the effect the real physical installation could give you. So, if you’re ever in New York, drop in and let us know about your impressions.

A very emotional description is presented here by Suzanne Labarre from Co.Design. Check it out to get the feeling :)

VW has teamed up with Agency V and JCDecaux to come up with this creative piece in a Parisean street.

The full-size VW  Up model is placed on a side of a building against a ruler, to demonstrate the small size of the new car model. “It’s great to be small”, says the slogan… It’s certainly cute, say me :)
