I know I was confused (comes from not watching enough television) - I 
believe someone posted the "correct" answer which is that it is not a 
pre-existing track - it was commissioned by VW for the ad but the general 
public information they give out doesn't mention who did the music.

np. Robert Merlak - Icepick Tracks (again)

You've got the WRONG commercial. The one your
thinking about was the Beetle commercial
featuring the track "Absurd" off the Rissoto album.
(They also played The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds")

If you find out what track it is, PLEASE let
me know. I really dig it, and the commercial
too!!

HIGHLIGHT:
The guy who dribbles his basketball to the beat,
sweet indeed!

My house-mate has been pestering me to find out the identity of this
song...  New Volkswagon commercial with a black jetta driving down the
streets of (I believe) New Orleans.  The stereo is on with a song and
everything around them is in time with the beat of the song.  Anybody know
the song?  Artist, title, album???

Actually I was wondering the same thing. . I have found myself tapping my
toes to this commercial

Funny commercial. I like the part where the guy bounces the basketball to
n' fro.
The bass drum goes:

Bump-Bump.
Bump-Bump.
_______________
the basketball is undoubtedly the best part
