New Volkswagen Passat Commercial Features Rush's Fly By Night

The 2012 Volkswagen Passat has been named the 2012 Motor Trend Car of the Year. Announcing this accolade, Volkswagen has created a new commercial for the Passat which features Rush's Fly By Night (the song).

The video can be viewed below:



Sharp eyes will notice 'Rush' and 'Fly By Night' listed on the car stereo around the 20-second mark.

The video can also be viewed directly at YouTube.

  1. The best thing about this commercial is that they used a good classic tune and not something off Moving Pictures for a change!

  6. One thing I always appreciated about Rush is that they don't shill products. It's a cute commercial, but I hope it disappears from the face of the earth. I don't want to think "German cars" when I hear Fly By Night. I am surprised and disappointed that this happened. Let's see the boys get recognition for their amazing talent and music, not the products they endorse.

  7. I have no fear that they'll not get caught up in any of that:

    "...For the words of the prophets were written on the studio wall,
    Concert hall
    And echoes with the sounds of salesmen. Of salesmen. Of salesmen...."
