Reminds me of a TV ad that Fiat ran for a strange-looking car they had designed back in the 70's, the Fiat Strada, and which (the ad) was satirised by Rowan Atkinson in one of his earlier TV shows ('Not the Nine'o Clock News', I think):

Scene 1: Footage of said car on CAD screen
Atkinson voiceover: 'Designed by computer'

Scene 2: Footage of car being built in factory
Voiceover: 'Built by robots

Scene 3: Car being driven fast along Italian mountain road
Voiceover: 'Driven by Italians'

Finale: Car veers through crash barrier and over cliff edge.

I'm pretty sure it was a white one...
