Rep Power: 22   | ^ Ford actually filmed that commercial in my hometown (Chilliwack, BC, Canada) in a corn field about 2 minutes from my house. It was a pretty big event as our town has only about 60,000 people. I still don't like the commericial though.

Car: Saab 900 and VW GTI MkV (saving, only $24K to go!) Rep Power: 0 | That wasn't the first time. Ford did a similar Bullitt car chase TV ad using McQueen to pitch the Euro-market Ford Puma. Really, a disrespect to McQueen.

Car: 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI (USDM) LFS Status:  Rep Power: 35  | I hate it when they use dead people in commercials like that, as far as I'm concerned that should be illegal. |

Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 233 | It wasn't a CGI McQueen, it was really him from the movie. They just super-imposed him. And frankly, I think it was way cool.
