Grown Man Cries and It’s Funny: VW e-Golf Commercial
⌖
VW has just launched a commercial for the e-Golf and this spot is simply unbelievable. No, it’s not that funny, but it does managed to make you smile while getting away with all sorts of stuff that could otherwise be seen as rather... severe.
To start with, the subject of the ad is a grown man who... cries. The guy looks in his mid 40s, to be more precise. Of course, the tears he sheds are for... nope, we won’t tell you what happens in the video. We’ll move to the next bold scheme instead.
Have you ever tried walking into the gas station, shaking the hand of the cashier and then giving him a full-grip hug? We haven’t, but the VW man in the commercial did and he got away with it.
At a certain point, the guy gets in his e-Golf and he’s extremely happy with what greets him there. Perhaps his uber-sensible nature was thrilled with being able to save the planet. Or maybe he’s just as sensitive when it comes to his bank account.
Either way, we’ll remind you that buyers in both Europe and America will be able to enjoy the electrified Golf. This packs a 24.2 kWh battery pack that feeds an 115 hp electric motor.
The only major difference between what VW offers on the Old Continent and what if sends on the US market is the advertised range. Traveling over the Atlantic, the e-Golf seems to have dropped a part of its range, with European claims sitting at 118 miles (km) and American ones at 90 miles (km).

Ι got to carefully examine a brand new (one week old) Golf VII 1.6 TDI that belongs to a relative of mine. Even though I did not drive it, I have to admit that it is a car of very high quality! I was stunned by the interior, materials and fitting-wise. Nowhere near the rest of its segment! I am impressed.

Volkswagen Golf facelift to feature gesture control system
Refreshed Golf coming in late 2016
Volkswagen has confirmed the refreshed Golf will get a gesture control technology.
Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neuser, Volkswagen’s head of powertrain development, told AutoExpress the facelifted Golf will arrive in late 2016 as the first car in its class to feature a gesture control system. The tech will be identical to the one found in the Golf R Touch concept, showcased at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January.
“The interior features a preview of future VW interior technologies, with smartphone applications redefined for automotive use. The gesture control will become reality in the Golf at the end of next year,” Neuser told the magazine.
According to the information, the new system will likely use three displays and five sensors in the interior. The current central display will be replaced by a large 13-inch screen, while the instrument cluster will be fully digital.
