Volkswagen Style by Karl Lagerfeld

In an effort to give their otherwise ordinary hatchbacks an added dose of Style, Volkswagen has teamed up with none other than the inimitable Karl Lagerfeld. Together the German icons of industry and fashion have put together the new Style packages for the Volkswagen Polo, Golf and Golf Plus.

The packages add special touches such as new alloys, tinted windows and lamp lenses and the special badges, while the Style Plus package upgrades the wheels again and throws in a sunroof too. Unfortunately both are only available in Germany for the time being. Lagerfeld's commercial for the cars (in German) is after the jump.
