VIDEO: There's a Chevy Matiz in this ad, somewhere (NSFW)
Click above to view video
You may not want to watch this at the office if you work in a puritanical professional environment, but we swear there's a car in this commercial somewhere. We just don't seem to notice it, no matter how many times we watch the video. (Believe us, we've tried.)
The commercial airs on Greek television supposedly to advertise the newly redesigned Chevrolet Matiz. The first-generation Matiz started life as a Daewoo, the Korean carmaker that General Motors took over and now uses its cars across Europe with Chevrolet badges. The original design was penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign as the Lucciola, originally proposed to Fiat for a new Cinquecento. (We're glad Fiat passed.) The ad, as you can see for yourself in the video after the jump, relies heavily on the old adage "sex sells". But while the commercial certainly makes us want something, like the Nissan ad of which it reminds us, we're not sure it's a car.

It works if they want people to go the web-site. It doesn't if they want people to go there looking for a car.

If you can spot a car in that commercial you obviously aren't paying enough attention...
