VW makes a splash with Rubber Ducky

Picture this: you roll up to some seedy bar in north London in a new Volkswagen SUV and park next to a tricked-out Harley Davidson. A burly character in a black leather jacket ambles out of the saloon and squints at the VW next to his bike.

“Nice ride, mate,” he offers. “Nice color.”

You back away a little from the VW.

“Thanks,” you say and smile shyly. “It’s a new color.” You pause, then add, “It’s called Rubber Ducky.”

This scene is imaginary, but possible now that VW in the United Kingdom is shipping its revised compact T-Cross SUV glowing in a rather unique exterior shade called…well, we’ve said it: Rubber Ducky.
