Prius
Either you're a sucker for these Busby Berkley–meets-elementary-school-play-meets–Beijing Olympic Games–opening-ceremonies scenarios or you're not. The sheer visual detail of this one closes the deal for me. (Those clouds!) And while it's mildly alarming that the car navigating its way through all the dancing children is apparently MISSING ITS FREAKIN' DRIVER, the commercial's hallucinogenic quality pushes it squarely into the realm of fantasy. Maybe, it suggests, having a clean Earth and a nice car is not just a dream.
