It wasn't on long, I think I only saw it twice. Most likely it was for a car company or car insurance or something. Anyone? Or did I dream it? Yes, the Nissan commercial made me freak out a little and thinking "Oh no" as I heard the first few familiar notes, but it is a nicely produced slick ad. They have another one with two fellas recording car noises and producing a somewhat blippy 80's retro sounding song in their basement studio - how hip! Methinks a plot to bring the 80's back is still afoot...BTW, love the Ladytron albums. Heh, I said albums...
