We've already told you about Volkswagen's plans to air two new commercials during this Sunday's Super Bowl event and even shown you a teaser trailer of the 'Black Beetle' ad, but today, the German automaker released the full TV spots for both the 2012 Passat and 2012 New (or is that New2?) Beetle on Youtube.
The first advert is about the upcoming Beetle and shows a real bug with white racing stripes acting like a car on the forest ground, while the other commercial is for the U.S.-market spec 2012 Passat and is more humorous concentrating on a child dressed up as Darth Vader. Watch them both right after the break.

Both are good, but the Beetle commercial has staying appeal; Junior needs to "feel the force" through some belt leather.
The beetle commercial is awesome. Agree, someone needs to beat that kid (with love). Just kidding. Give him "the force" of some nice leather.
Sorry, but I'm not interested in insects. I'd like to see the car already. If it's as hideous as the test mule and it's silhouette infers, then no amount of suspense is going to make it any better. It'd better be a looker, or else VW may have put the final nail in their coffin. The new Jetta and Passat are already epic failures design wise, and VW's materials quality and reliability have gone down the crapper over the past 10 years. ...Never thought I'd live to see the day that VW, of all car companies, would be known for mind numbingly boring pieces of rubbish. Plain Tofu is more appealing. *so disappointed*
On the Passat commercial... cute commercial, boring update on the car itself.
Well at least VW didn't use a dung beetle!!

2010 was a really good year for VW:
"VW, Europe's biggest automaker, said sales of its own nameplate models topped 4.5 million for the first time ever, an increase of 13.9 percent from 2009."

I like the old car more, the new one is worse outside, better inside, and boring. Sorry VW, you need to be more brave and rely only on the commercials, ofcourse they are always the best in the World
So the big news is remote start for a Passat? Doesn't seem worth spending about $6 million on.
