There've been two car commercials recently that had some sweet sounding music playing.  The first was the humorous Ford Focus commercial with the white and black guy, and we all know how it goes.  Anyways, that song is from Korn, and it's called "Hold On."

I'm looking for another commercial with another song.  I cannot remember which company produced it.  All I can remember is that I *think* there isn't any actual vocals played in the commercial, it's just instrumental.  I haven't seen the commercial for a few weeks now, but of course I see the Ford one all the time.

Anyone know what I'm trying to think of?  I'd like to find out the song on that other commercial.

Edit:  I would classify the song as either hard rock or metal...if there's a difference.

Probably not the song your thinking of, but I thought of this immediately when reading the title of the thread:

By the way, the song is by Wilco.

Dunno which commercial you are thinking of, but I like this Honda Civic commercial:

Ha, ha, well that's how I came across the commercial yes, but I'd say it's a cool commercial even if you don't like the car.

The one before that was quite nice too (The Impossible Dream). Too bad they don't show these in the Netherlands.

Yeah, the Ferari/Shell one is nice too, but I feel they are missing a song. I think it gives the Honda version more power (the Ferari version looks nicer though).

I really can't find the one we are supposed to be looking for (a car brand would help a lot I'm sure), but some more funny commercials with "cars":

That's a commercial for the new Ford/Microsoft "Sync".

Look for me in an upcoming one.

Ford built a VW?  Several years ago?

no way! years ago, enzo ferrari was asked why they didnt come with stereos from the factory. he replied 'the music comes from the engine'  ;D

i absolutely love the sounds of the older cars in that ad. would ruin it with a song over the top. oh, and check this out:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jMThD5JyQos

i had assumed they just used computer trickery to make the ad. how loud must that f1 have been on park avenue?  :o

Hearing an F1 car on TV and hearing one for real is quite a different experience.
