its interesting how they filmed it... i guess after rewatching the commercial, i see where they made the different cuts but it really did seem like the car came from far away and slid into that spot in 1 fluid action.... im sure it could be done, too bad they didnt do it that way.

Thats partially why i love that MINI cabrio commercial where the guy jumps into the car... it wouldnt have been the same with special effects and harnesses.

It's a cool commercial, but would you buy tires that were that skid-prone on wet pavement?
