    Hello to everyone,

    Does any of you know the song of the Prius commercial which starts with kind of a violin and in the spot you can se how people "try" to walk in different places (London, Times Square etc)???

    Thanks a lot

    I haven't seen that one. Could it be local to Spain?

    Anyone have any idea how old that commercial is? That Prius doesn't have Smart Key, rear wipers, or the side badging.

    Also, in my opinion the music sounds like something done specifically for that commercial.

    Looks like its about 5 years old. According to the article below, which has a date of September 10 2003, it was the new commercial to start the Prius campaign. I do not remember this commercial though. I remember the one with the Prius, sitting in the field and it starts to decompose.

    Actually, the 2nd half of that 1st commercial sounds like a variation of a song called Breathe Me by Sia. Which ironically was played during the Series Finale of a show on HBO called Six Feet Under, in a scene where one of the characters is driving a prius.....

    ETA I really think that is the basis of this commercial. The Sia song was orignally realesed in 2004....
