‘Toss’, the new VW Passat commercial from Deutsch shows that features a father with no baseball talent trying to pass on his “skills” to his son. Luckily, the father also has a durable Passat that he can pass on—something his son can actually use.
True to the brand, the latest spot is short, fun and showcases a typical human story. Most importantly, it drives home the point that a Volkswagen is durable and safe, a trait that has stayed with the brand since the beginning and will continue to do so for years to come.
Simon Mcquoid, who directed Deutsch LA’s award winning “Michael” spot for Playstation, along with Volkswagen “Crash” from last year, comes back to direct this latest spot.
