Which hybrid car advertisement is this?

August 24, 2011 8:26 PM

Help me find this hybrid car commercial. It's from the past five years, and features flowers that pop up as the car drives along.

Things I know:
-It's not this 2010 Toyota Prius ad or this 2006 Honda Civic ad
-I don't remember the car manufacturer, though my mind keeps supplying Honda or various American manufacturers (and shying away from thinking it's a Prius ad)
-The flowers looked like they were made from paper, and emerged as the car drove along
-I don't think there were any people in the ad, and it seemed very charming
-I can completely eliminate 2011 as a year, because I haven't watched any TV commercials this year, and I've definitely seen it on TV (many, many times)


It's probably really obvious, but I still haven't found it after an hour of searching, so I'm turning to the hivemind.

Any chance you'd remember the music if you heard it? Does this sound familiar? If so, you're thinking of a Saturn Vue commercial from 2007 or 2008 that I can't seem to find anywhere. I definitely remember paper things popping up everywhere--maybe a ferris wheel?

Best answer: Aaand I found the video. Should have spent 30 more seconds looking for it. Is that what you're thinking of?

Response by poster: That is it! Apparently my brain decided the trees were flowers! Thanks so much!
