The song Life in a Northern Town by Dream Academy (recently covered by Sugarland) is about Nick Drake.

The only thing the Germans have taste in is beer. The end. And yes, I'd rather they use Britney's crappy music to sell their crappy car.

But they missed the party...

One of the most beautiful, intellectual commercials ever made. Period.

I have this exact model, same color and options. I love this commercial. We live in the desert and I drive with the top down all the time, especially at night.

I totally listen to Nick Drake when I can't fall asleep at night too!

Me neither. I've never heard any of Nick Drake's songs. Thanks to this commercial, I bought his album and listened to it non-stop...I still do when I have trouble sleeping at night. He's one of my favorite artists.

If this ad was not made, I would have never heard of Nick Drake. -In 2000, Volkswagen featured the title track from Pink Moon in a television advertisement, and within one month Drake had sold more records than he had in the previous thirty years.- Amazing, isn't it?

Exactly. VW/Cabrio/the car is incidental. It just happens to be the vehicle (hah, no pun intended) for pairing the images with the music that together convey that lovely summery feeling.

Ahhh, I love this commercial. Reminds me of beautiful, warm, summer nights of doing nothing but sitting outside, listening to crickets and sipping a Corona. Funny thing about this commercial is that it doesn't make me think of Volkswagens in the least. I just think it's a nice commercial :)
