New VW Passat commercial...
Have you seen this new commercial...
Cyclist riding down the road at night and his headlight fails...
Motorist is coming up behind and the cyclist waves him on; the motorist flashes his lights and the cyclist and motorist go on down the windy road with the motorist headlight system showing the way for both. They get to the bottom and the motorist waves to the cyclist, and they part ways.
Very cool, shows great co-operation... very positive images.
