I think they dropped the car from a crane to symbolize the falling USA sales 
curve after the few Afisti bought one when they were first available here.

Possibly, one of the stupidest ads of all time.  Luckily, they budget was so 
absurdly underfunded it almost never ran, and if it did,  at lousy hours 
where bargain rates were available.  Also high on the terrible scale was an 
80s USA Spider ad that showed a woman in the passenger seat playing a violin 
backwards as she was driven down the road.  I am not sure what that symbolism 
was intended to convey.

It was certainly not the Ultimate Driving Machine.
