Great commercial!  Had not seen it before. Thanks for posting.

Comments:
1.  Too bad it required water on the ground to spin the tires out of the parking space. (Jeez. At least photoshop it out of there.)

2. Bitchin action footage, but would this have proven the minimum (or maximum) level of what's considered by Hertz as "abuse?"

"Hello, legal...20 guys claiming to be from somewhere called SAAC just returned 20 of these car with bald tires. They claim they drove exactly as Hertz advertised."

3. I wonder how long that commercial aired.

Decent performers stock mid 13 machines.  Their forte was handling.  Not to mention only 500 made each year 2006 / 2007
