Out with the old, in with the new – this is the theme of the latest Volkswagen commercial. If this sounds familiar, that's because it's a continuity of a VW ad from 2010 but with a twist to fit the current narrative of switching to electric vehicles.

The old commercial (embedded below) showed an old lady selling her beloved Volkswagen Golf to a teenager. As the dad (presumably) inspected the used vehicle, the video inserted flashbacks of the owner having precarious fun with the car. The ad wanted to boast the reliability of the VW Golf, despite a bit of abuse from its owner.
