Volkswagen illustrates its DSG Tiptronic Transmission's automatic transmission with a YouTube ad that automatically skips itself.
The ad, aimed at Brazilian consumers and supporting the VW Fusca, lasts for 5 seconds -- the standard for a YouTube preroll -- and then shows an unrelated video. The transmission, which is differentiated from an automatic transmission by its ability to let the driver manually shift, was developed by Porsche, a VW unit.
By now, a Tiptronic transmission (also known as a "manumatic transmission") isn't necessarily novel, but the way that VW is drawing attention to it is.
