Deutsch have released a duo of new VW spots which draw from the most universally irritating facets of life: the annoying laugh and being stuck behind a caravan on a narrow road.
Have you ever been stuck behind a slow car on a single mountain road? VW knows who the culprit is. In “Passing Lane,” director Simon McQuoid shows off the power of the new Jetta Turbo Hybrid in contrast to other hybrids out there, with a little fun poke at the other brand. It’s our way of showing that you can drive lots of hybrids, but this is a hybrid you’d actually want to drive.
With “Laugh,” Noam Murro shows how far you can get with just one tank of gas in a VW TDI clean diesel vehicle. The only downside? It’s a long time to be stuck with someone until the next gas break. So choose wisely.
