Volkswagen slips from first place to third place with its short commercial encouraging viewers to “jump on the wagen” for the World Cup, no matter which team they choose.
The other spots from Chevy land at fourth and fifth place, with the No. 4 spot announcing the brand won J.D. Power dependability awards for its Malibu, Silverado, Traverse and Equinox models. Humor is front and center in the No. 5 commercial, which shows off three SUV models Chevy suggests are perfect for the different stages of a relationship.
