Sleepwalking Auto Ads

The Volkswagen Touareg Commercial Brings a Whole New Meaning to Dream Cars

The latest Volkswagen Touareg commercial brings a whole new meaning to the concept of a dream car. The man in this auto ad just can't help but wake up every morning to find himself in his beloved Volkswagen.

Surprisingly, his wife seems to take the whole car obsession quite well. Night after night, the young man cannot help but sleepwalk over to his Volkswagen and curl up in its comfy confines. He does receive quite a fright upon waking up to his head falling forward against the steering wheel, but it seems to be worth it for this individual. Either way, the Volkswagen Touareg commercial shows just how luxurious this car can be.
