Are all German engineers uptight? Yes. At least according to Subaru.
The Subaru Amadeus Ad is a viral commercial that showcases the Subaru as, "The Japanese car the Germans wish they made."
In the commercial, Subaru portrays a witty stereotype of some uptight German engineers trying to have a little fun. They are zipping around a race track while pumping tunes and being awkward.
I've been loving this commercial since its initial debut and am happy to see it has finally been added to YouTube. Check it out!
