Fahrvergnügen was an advertising slogan used by the German automobile manufacturer Volkswagen in a 1989 U.S. ad campaign that included a stick figure driving a Volkswagen car.

That German term means "driving enjoyment" in English (from fahren, "to drive," and Vergnügen, "enjoyment"). One of the tag lines incorporating the word was: "Fahrvergnügen: It's what makes a car a Volkswagen."

In addition, the slogan was adapted into a radio jingle in which a female voice identified as "Helga" spoke:

Fahr. Verg! Gnü. Gen.
Say the word!
