I like it! I wonder if the gorilla was real or CGI?

Imagine towing it around a city like that.

I'm assuming this is a serious question so I'd answer that almost all video these days, especially commercials for cars, is CGI.

Straight film has pretty much left the building.

If it's not a real question, I'd say the gorilla wasn't a real gorilla. He looked like one of those blow-up things to me.

I love the music ...ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), and a good commercial to boot.

It was a serious question. Just curious, that's all & it was really well done!

Another serious question. How long before Hollywood actors are replace with CGI?
They'll still need actors for the voices but even they could eventually be replace with a computer.

It's OK. I don't see anything remarkable in it.

"Great new commercial"
~~~~~~~~~`
The only thing 'great' for me is the lovely lady driver. Yum!!!
Other than that...rather pedestrian.

Loved it. It's got the original Fay Wray infatuation, except...

It's already happening, I'm sure.
