RX8 in commercial

I think it was an SBC commercial. They were advertising their high speed internet, and they chose a black 8 to represent the speed. Just thought I'd share.

I initially thought the same thing, but after seeing the commercial a few more times it doesn't look exactly like an RX-8. Seems more like they took a concept/design CAD model and used that.
