access the "Video version"... The music sounds a lot like U2.

What do you think?

Yeah, it sure does. I kept expecting a Bono-like voice to burst in.
This is the second car commercial I've seen with really u2-like music. The other one sounds a lot like "Streets". This one is reminiscent of "Bad". Tthey were offered $23 million by a car company for the use of "Streets", they turned it down, so the car companies do an end run around them and get anonymous musicians to do rip offs. Ain't it grand!
How'd you spot that, by the way? Are you shopping for a Beemer?
