1. That's in incredibly bad taste - if it's a real ad
Unbelievable.

9. Not really
The best humor is reflective of the world we live in. Car bombs, or the fear of car bombs, is very real in Europe and other areas where this car might be sold.

Besides, I have to ask: Who, if this is in bad taste, does the ad insult?

11. All the justice fighters that want to kill women, children and men
in order to make their point. Whatever that may be.

5. As you wish: (spoiler alert)
A man gets into a VW Polo and drives down a couple of European streets. Shots of people shopping...sitting at outdoor cafes. The Man parks and pulls out a pushbutton on a wire (detonator) and pushes it. The shot from outside the car shows the explosion through the windows, but the car remains intact (and no damage to anything else).

End caption: VW Polo...Tough
