A shame this beautifully filmed ad came out in the dial-up days of the internet... when compressing and uploading 35mm film quality video was unheard of. If anyone has a copy of this commercial on VHS lying around, do the world a favor and upload a higher-quality version that isn't so pixilated and contrasty. Instant karma.
A BEAUTIFUL CAR TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, THE GLOW OF THE DIALS, THE COMFORT OF THE SEATS AND THE SOUND SYSTEM IS AMAZING, I bought my golf because of this advert and never regreted it, It puts the New golf cabriolet to shame.
You worked on this? You are one of my all-time short story idols. I have admired this since the first time I saw it. The story is beautiful. The editing is perfect. I've waited a long time to thank someone for this. Thank you.
Best. Commercial. Ever. Totally brilliant use of music, not to mention it brought Nick Drake back into the spotlight. Thank you for posting--and working on the ad.
IMO: What makes this spot so effective, is that it doesn't really really foist the car on the viewer. A very smooth soft-sell. Instead, you get caught up on the experiences of the passengers surrounded by all this natural beauty at night. I think this is one of the best adverts in many, many years.
I don't have VW Cabrio but, thankfully for me, I do in fact have a Convertible. I may even get to enjoy it more this year.

The only commercial I've ever wanted to see more than once. Amazing.

Sweet, that is an awesome spot. Now I want to drive in my friend's Cabrio at night with the top down..... Too bad it's winter.
