VW is showing how their latest SUV is for the growing family. They show the family growing through rocking/bouncing parked cars

I thought a little humor was good.

Sounds like they need to equip their cars with thicker anti-roll bars, stiffer springs, and better dampers.

I thought it was funny, but not sure if it will gain them customers or lose them customers based on my in-laws' reaction to it.

I thought it was funny. I still won't buy a VW.

I thought it was funny and creative. I'm sure people will be offended because that seems to be the thing to do these days.

Chances are it is a global advertisement available in several languages. I have never forgotten the "Unpimp your auto" series. unpimp das auto

Sounds like the new fancy feast or shiba cat food commercial I caught last night.

Man and a woman start getting hot and heavy, cat stares the guy down until he stops and feeds it in his boxers while the woman gets dressed and leaves.

The Wife just saw it. She thought they were trading them in because the check engine lights were too expensive to fix like her parents kept doing.

I laughed. The new Atlas looks like a large SUV should. Simple, square, purposeful.

It's only marginally better than the "German engineers get thier wings" commercial. 100,000 miles is a big deal? That's just broken in all the eurotrash cars that I've had.

Unpimp ze auto was pretty stinkin good.

Back to the current commercial: Actually, it did cross my mind that the reason the car was bouncing in the dark was because they couldn't afford thier own spot due to the constant trips to the dealer for repairs.

Compared to Chevy's commercials, it should win an Oscar.

Will say VW has always had good ad people as well as catchy ads, they need some of the magic again after the debacle of dieselgate.

VW is just advertising how romantic their cars are when the interior is bathed in the warm orange glow of the check engine light...

Ain't that the damn truth. I don't know why, but those commercials drive me nuts.

My favorite "car" commercial is the sir Jackie Stewart, Heineken don't drink and drive one.

In reply to Rusted_Busted_Spit:

The Queen should revoke his "Sir". My earliest memory of Jackie Stewart was as a guy with a bad haircut trying to sell me a Tempo.

What I noticed was how the cars started good looking and got fatter and uglier with every generation.

Just saw it on TV. About halfway through I was thinking "You need to stop buying cars at the VW dealership and start buying contraceptives at the pharmacy!"
