Its very possible the "Cooper" reference is coincidental. That ad originally came out over a year ago (I believe back when VW was still using Arnold advertising agency).
However, if we want to start speculating as to why VW would resurrect an old ad and the psychology of using a lazy, unconscious character sharing the namesake of their forthcoming competition....
Still, Normalizer, I like your take on it. -Eric.
