Lightbulb VW ads "Drivers Wanted" When will I see an ad of the cars being actually driven?

So I see the ad with the new Passat, where the guy is trying to cross a border or something and b/c of all the tehnology, they take the car apart b/c they think Osama is hiding inside or something.

Then at the end "Drivers Wanted"

So I get to thinking, I have NEVER seen a new VW ad where the car is driven. No powerslides, no speeding, nothing. Just one trying to be funny ad after the other.


Hey VW, here is some free help. Get rid of your advertising agency.

There's a new Passat ad with a guy driving it behind a cyclist on a winding road (showing off the adaptive headlights at the same time). Very cool ad.

They've already gotten rid of their previous ad agency and hired a new one. I think their work will start showing up in December.

Haven't seen the one u mentioned, I'll look for it.
Really, well I hope the new ads work. Jaguar also has a new agency at 100million pound

Of course not. They're never out of the shop long enough.

Most of the time the're waiting for back-ordered German electrical system parts.
