6. Just seems like Gene Kelley sold out to VW...
But he couldn't have because he's dead.

It'd be like Elvis doing an NRA ad, or Humphrey Bogart doing an ad for the GOP.

8. VW makes a lot of fuel efficient cars
There are worse things to sell out to. But I see your point.

7. They had to get someone from Gene Kelly's agent/estate/heirs
to agree to this adaptation and pay for it, too.

Personally, I like it. It's memorable. Better than Fred Astaire dancing with a vacuum cleaner or some other piece of hardware a couple of years ago.
