    Nice!

    So, did that guy submit those six words then win the role in the ad?

    Wow, that thing is way to loose in the slalom. Makes me question the suspension.

    It retrospect, I guess I should have been thinking first about what six words could be easily choreographed into a trendy commercial, rather than just the ideal test drive. I suspect the word "Stelvio" was enough in itself to bust their production budget. :aureola:

    So glad to see I wasn't the only one not impressed.

    Mine was: Dragon, Parsons Branch Road, Countryman All-4
    Guess I was thinking of a real drive as well, and not a crazy commercial!
