Not sure if this is a spoof or an actual Nissan commercial. Knowing the types of commercials that come out of Europe, I wouldn't be suprised. I have a feeling that this kind of advertising works much better for "macho" vehicles like SUVs and sports cars than it does for something like the Prius! At the very least, it is an effective way of demonstrating how independent suspension works.
