Volkswagen is Cool, Yah.
When it comes to building cars, the accuracy-driven Germans are spot on. When it comes to dancing, however, their thirst for precision seems to create a sort of anti-rhythm that was previously reserved for tipsy middle aged white men at banquet halls dancing (and singing) along to "Greased Lightning."
It's a good thing engineers don't have to teach cars to dance. Now, that would be terrifying. Yah.

This Honda commercial is proof that a product is only as good as the sum of its parts.
Costing the car company six million dollars, the brilliantly orchestrated commercial took three months and 606 takes to finish. Every tire and bolt seen in this ad is an actual part from a hand-built Accord--only 6 exist in the world.
Today, three years since the commercial originally aired in the UK,
it's still hard to believe that every precise action and visual
component is completely man-made!
According to an article in UK's Telegraph, when Honda executives viewed the ad for the first time, they were floored by the advanced computer-graphics used (or not used) in the ad.
