As they go on their driving adventure, the male seems to not know much of anything. If he's the son, ok, teachable moments even though he isn't a child. If he is her partner, then OMG, why is she with him? Just wonder every time I see the ad. She looks older than he is but I can't tell their relationship.

You can GOOGLE the title of the ad.  It is completely explained. 

Unfortunately, I was unable to copy the text.

Interesting interpretation of the ad, but I just thought the guy is making the effort to try those things she (his partner) enjoys.  That he's on "adventure" and trying to expand his world.

ok ... if I have the right one? 
This couple is not a mom and son, but it is intentionally ambiguous...

the guy is naive (unschooled in life) as in this part:

"babe, that's a cow"

The subliminal message here is not ambiguous...

take a chance on ________.

Wow... seks sells

I like the fact that it's ambiguous. Subaru ads are really well done. And, I just bought a Subaru Crosstrek earlier this year and it's a fantastic car! I absolutely love driving my Crosstrek! Subaru donates significant money to animal rescue charities, too. Another reason to love Subaru!

I love the commercial. He's trying new adventures. His comment about the cow was tongue in cheek. He knew it was a cow.

I don't see any hint of sex in this commercial. 

p.s I also have a 2024 Crosstrek and it's a great, safe car. Actually looking forward to the first snow so I can see how it handles.

I view this commercial as money well spent by Subaru.  People are taking notice of the product and discussing the ad, whatever the relationship may be.

@Goldengate8361 Subaru donates it's customers money to animal rescue.  Not Subaru's money.  All corporate donations donate YOUR money.

It's not your money anymore when you exchange your money for a product. The money now belongs to the seller of the product. The seller of the product can pocket every single cent. Subaru decided to take a portion of THEIR money and donate it to animal charities.

Credit where its due.

[They Call Me MR Wilkes]

Someone has never understood that when you exchange money for goods or services,  it's no longer yours.

You got the goods.

You received the service. 

Not yours.  It's the recipients to use, spend, disburse or squander as they see fit.

Corporations can spend their money (it's no longer yours), anyway they like, so long as the Board of Directors doesn't disapprove.  Not yours.  Theirs.  You engaged in a contractual relationship and ceded the funds to them.  Basic business.   Basic economics. 

How on earth does someone think they retain a right to it after the business transaction?

I'm shocked that posters don't understand this or are so naive.
