It's an homage.

Years ago VW had a commercial where you saw a man driving through snow in a beetle.

The announcer said, "Ever wonder how the snow plow man gets to work? He drives a Volkswagen."

Mad_Hatter is too young and daisy fresh to remember that oldie.

Yeah, never saw that commercial.
 
Learned to drive a stick on a 63 beetle. They did get though snow great with that engine behind the rear wheels and the tall skinney tires.

..... but I paaked my new caa with a clicka - it's wicked awesome.

It's a Sonat-er !

True but from time to time you do get some good ones.

Back in the day most commercials were quite lame. I used to look forward to seeing the Clio award winners. Nowadays a lot of commercials seem like candidates for a Clio award.
 
Monday morning complaints. Hope your week gets better.

100% agree. I've never cared what the motorcade driver drives.

If you mean Mid to late 60's thru early 70's I would disagree.

This was the dawn of the entertaining or comedic ads.

Below are a few examples I can still pull right out of the long-hidden crevices of my noggin.
